Building with advanced agent capabilities

Ready to transform your startup? This hands-on technical deep dive goes beyond LLMs to equip you with the skills to build truly intelligent, autonomous AI agents using Claude on Vertex AI. Through live demos, we’ll explore the critical capabilities that differentiate mere bots from sophisticated, production-ready systems: implementing multi-layered memory architectures, designing sophisticated multi-step reasoning with extended thinking and planning patterns, and creating custom tool integrations.
 

What you'll learn:

• Implement three-tier memory systems (working, episodic, and long-term) that enable agents to maintain context across sessions and drive continuous learning and improved user experience.
• Apply advanced reasoning strategies including chain-of-thought, extended thinking, and the think tool pattern to build agents that plan, self-correct, and handle complex multi-step tasks.
• Architect intelligent agent systems that combine memory, planning, and tools into production-ready solutions.
• Design and integrate custom tools that connect Claude agents to Google Cloud services like BigQuery and Cloud Storage.
