Have you ever heard of AI agents? I\u2019m sure you have\u2014the hype just keeps going.
In an in-depth workshop on this topic held on June 8, 2026, we explored what AI agents are all about and how they work. <\/p>\n

Our workshop was aimed at participants who already had a basic understanding of AI and wanted to delve deeper into the technical aspects. It was led by Marco Fries from the Zukunftszentrum AI NRW,<\/a> who gave us a hands-on introduction to the world of (open-source-based) AI agents. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead more \"\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t
