Demystifying AI agents: Beyond the buzzword
In this session, Deepak Pai, Principal Scientist at Adobe, demystifies the buzz around AI agents by explaining how they differ from plain LLMs and chatbots, unpacking the agent stack (perception + LLM planning + tools/actions), and exploring practical patterns when to use agents, when not to, and how MCP and agent-to-agent protocols enable secure, coordinated behavior while stressing the need for verification, guardrails, and careful orchestration in real product settings.
