If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://elixirconf.com✨ AI agents are all the rage these days, but they can be a bit intimidating if you haven’t tried building one yet. I’ll explain what agents really are at a high level, discuss why Elixir is the perfect language for building them, and demonstrate how to build a basic AI receptionist and other agentic AI features for an application. Key Takeaways: AI agents aren’t as formidable as they seem. You’ll leave this talk feeling both confident that you could build an agent, but also excited to do so.
