The use of AI and AI Agents in everyday Django can be viewed as AI as API where we can create on the Django side powerful agentic APIs.
If, for example, we have a SEARCH, HELP or FAQ section in our app, we can add AI components to leverage AI.
We will also look at frameworks that can offer convenience and increased functionality.
This workshop will assume no knowledge of AI.
Please note the focus is on creating output from AI Agents on the API side rather than UI implementation in Django. With the time available, to gain an understanding of AI Agents and agentic patterns, we will be working with output creation to pass on to Django for UI display.
We will create a number of Agentic Patterns from scratch and examine how we can use them in our Django apps.
With pre-prepared code examples, documentation and some videos, you will have a range of resources both during the workshop and after.
The emphasis is on understanding the wiring of Agentic AI Solutions so that one can create one's own Agents.
Access to an LLM will be required. Groq provides a free tier which will be more than sufficient for our use.
Making and breaking our components will enable us to see that Agentic AI is in essence Python with API calls, along with the understanding of the new prompting language - Natural Language.
