Join us for an evening with Ioannis Mesionis, Senior AI/ML Engineer at King, as he explores the shift from simple chatbots to fully capable AI agents. Ioannis will break down how modern agents think, act, and learn, and what this evolution means for real-world applications.
AI agents are moving beyond conversation into action. Drawing from his experience building applied AI systems, Ioannis Mesionis will unpack the core building blocks behind agentic behavior, including decision-making, tool use, and memory, and how these components come together in production environments.

Exclusive Event
Event Overview
AI agents represent the next step beyond chatbots. Ioannis Mesionis explores how agents are designed, what enables them to make decisions and take action, and how these systems are already being applied in real-world use cases.
01
From Chatbots to Agents
Understand how AI systems have evolved from reactive chat interfaces to autonomous agents capable of reasoning, planning, and executing tasks.
02
The Building Blocks of AI Agents
Learn how decision-making, tool use, and memory work together to power intelligent agents, and what engineers need to consider when designing them.
03
AI Agents in Practice
Watch a live demo of a real-world agent use case and see how these systems operate outside of theory, delivering practical value through action.
