The Year of the Agent: From Automated Processes to Autonomous Intelligence

.NET User Group - Melbourne

Event Description

This talk explores the evolution of AI from static, rules-based systems to dynamic, autonomous agents capable of perceiving their environment, making decisions, and taking action without step-by-step instructions. Attendees will discover how AI agents differ from traditional AI-enabled workflows, delving into their capacity to autonomously gather data, reason through complex challenges, and seamlessly integrate diverse tools to achieve targeted outcomes. Through real-world examples—ranging from self-driving cars to innovative coding agents—we’ll examine the transformative role of these intelligent systems in reshaping industries and redefining automation. The session will also address both the potential and limitations of AI agents, providing practical strategies for leveraging low-code and pro-code frameworks in their development and deployment.

Developers are already good at writing code. Writing reams of code just digs you deeper into an already deeply specialized skill. What I am proposing is that we spend less time coding and more time developing skills in other areas that complement our coding skills. Become a better writer. Become a better speaker. Improve your personal skills. Participate in the community. Try to spend some time talking to people instead of the compiler. That's how you distinguish yourself from your peers. And that's ultimately how you become a better software developer, too.

Informative and entertaining. Lots of little snippets of lessons we would have had to learn through experience
