Alvaro Silva-Santisteban

AI Solution Lead

AI agents are quickly moving from experimentation to real-world deployment, forcing teams to rethink how AI systems are designed, governed, and scaled. Drawing on real examples and live workflows, this session explores how organizations can move beyond demos to deploy agents that deliver reliable, business-ready impact.

01
Anatomy of an Agent

A practical breakdown of what actually makes an AI agent work. Alvaro deconstructs the core stack, the Brain (models), Memory (sessions and long-term context), and Hands (function calling and tools), and how these pieces come together to enable reasoning and action.
02
Choosing the Right Agent Architecture

Not every problem needs the same kind of agent. Learn how to distinguish between retrieval-based agents and action-oriented agents, and how to align each approach to real business needs without over-engineering solutions.
03
Governance, Trust, and Agentic Workflows

Agentic systems introduce new risks alongside new capabilities. This section covers mitigating hallucinations, implementing human-in-the-loop safeguards, and defining the role of business users, plus a walkthrough of agentic workflows using tools like Deep Research agents, NotebookLM, and AI Studio.
