13:00-17:30 Tutorial: AI Agents
Peter Gehler and Matthias Kümmerer
13:00-15:00 Presentation
15:00-15:30 Coffee Break
15:30-17:30 Hands-on
Always wanted to learn what AI Agents are about but never got the time? Join our half-day tutorial on LangGraph, LangChain, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—three puzzle pieces that snap together to turn large-language-model theory into fully fledged, experiment-ready agents. We open with explanations of all software packages and their concepts and have some examples. Then we dive straight into hands-on hacking where you will write your own AI agent or MCP host.
Bring a laptop, your favorite IDE, and an LLM key (we will can provide an LLM key). If you have an idea about what you would like to code, bring that as well, otherwise we have some examples to work on together. This tutorial is both instructional and hands-on, your chance to get started with agentic frameworks. Let’s learn together.
17:30 Welcome Reception and Industry Meet-up
The Welcome Reception is sponsored by Zeiss and the Industry Meet-up is organized and sponsored by the Tübingen AI Center.
17:30 Entry
18:00 Impulse presentation by SPRIN-D
18:20 Company pitches
Along with the welcome reception of the conference we host an industry meet-up, where local companies, sponsors, and academia can meet and talk. Many German vision professors, PhD and Master students, and researchers will be present. The federal agency SPRIN-D will make the start with a 20min impulse talk followed by short presentations by companies and organizations (KI macht Schule, KI Netzwerk BW, etc.). There will be plenty of time to talk with a glass of wine, a bottle of beer, or a bottle of lemonade. We expect 150-200 people.
If you are a local company and you are interested to join, please contact the industry chair.
