Building or adopting AI agents in Sydney NS? Learn how to design them so they hold up. Whether it's one agent or a team of them, AI agents tend to break in the same places: lost context, unreliable file updates, and state that drifts between runs.

Join Volta and IGNITE Atlantic at builder hours on Friday, October 30 from 2:30pm - 4:00pm, for a practical session on how agents are designed, where they fail, and the tools that make them reliable. The session suits developers building agents and businesses evaluating agents for their own workflows.

Shrilakshmi (Shri) Subramanian covers agent architecture, from single-agent design to multi-agent orchestration, with practical examples of where agents fail. Meghraj Solanki, founder of Synexiom Labs, then covers practical tools for agent orchestration, including a live demo of Nodiom.
