Lunch & Learn: Building Agents with Granite Workshop
In this workshop, we will explore writing AI agents using IBM Granite AI models. We will touch on what are AI agents and explore some different designs for agent development. These designs are informed by the experiences of IBMers in developing agents.
Our first agent will be a basic Function Calling Agent where will be build the agent from scratch to learn how agents work. We will then explore other agent designs such as Plan-and-Solve, Route-and-Solve, ToolRAG, and ReAct.
The workshop agents will use LangGraph with LangChain in their implementations and use IBM Granite as the language model.
