Build with AI 2026: When (Not) to Build AI Agents: A Hands-On ADK Workshop

Описание: When (Not) to Build AI Agents: A Hands-On ADK Workshop | Robina Mirbahar | Build with AI 2026

Description: AI agents are incredibly powerful, but are they always the right tool for the job? In this recorded workshop from Build with AI 2026 at GDG Ahlen, Robina Mirbahar (WTM Ambassador) guides us through the practical decision-making process behind architecting AI solutions.

Instead of focusing on model theory, this hands-on session dives into Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) to highlight the trade-offs between agent-based solutions and traditional workflows. You will see how to build a simple agent in a Google Colab environment and, more importantly, learn how to identify when it’s better to stop and write traditional code to ensure safety, cost-efficiency, and lower complexity.

Key Topics Covered:

Strategic Decision-Making: When is an AI agent the right solution vs. a traditional workflow?

Hands-on ADK: Building and testing agents using Google’s Agent Development Kit.

Identifying Failure Points: Observing what happens when we introduce common design mistakes into agent architecture.

Responsible AI: Practical techniques for safety guardrails and ethically sound AI design.

Architecture: Designing future-proof systems by combining Cloud infrastructure with AI capabilities.

About the Speaker: Robina Mirbahar is a WTM Ambassador and leader from WTM Hyderabad, specializing in empowering developers to use AI technologies effectively and responsibly.
