What exactly is an AI agent and how to build one?

Vellum is an AI product development platform. We recently interviewed over 1,250 AI builders and discovered significant confusion around what truly defines an AI agent. In this talk, we’ll begin with an overview of the current state of AI development, define what we consider an AI agent and explore how developers are integrating agentic behavior into AI products today. By the end of this presentation, you'll understand what it takes to build and confidently deploy AI agents into production.
