Summary
Agents, RAG, Memory, Vector Databases, Tool Use, MCP! The sector is rapidly evolving lots of architectures to make AI products more helpful and impactful. Peter van Dijck of Simply Put will share a simple framework that helps you understand how to think about these architectures, how to plan around them, and how to work with engineering teams on them. None of this is rocket science, but the acronyms are many. You don’t need to write code, but you do need to understand what is going on in these systems. You will learn how to think about and understand these complex-seeming architectures, and how to think about new ones as they come out.
