#1about 2 minutes

Understanding the fundamentals of AI agents

AI agents are large language models (LLMs) enhanced with the ability to perform actions using external tools.

#2about 2 minutes

Standardizing agent-tool communication with MCP

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a standardized way for AI agents to connect with and use various tools, similar to REST APIs.

#3about 1 minute

Enabling agent collaboration with the A2A protocol

The Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol standardizes communication and collaboration between different AI agents.

#4about 2 minutes

Getting started with the Strands SDK for agents

The Strands SDK from AWS simplifies building multi-agent workflows by handling MCP and A2A protocols with just a few lines of code.

#5about 4 minutes

Creating a basic agent and using local models

Learn how to instantiate a simple agent and configure it to use different LLM providers, including local models via Ollama.

#6about 9 minutes

Adding capabilities with built-in and custom tools

Give agents new abilities by importing pre-built tools or creating your own custom functions using the `@tool` decorator.

#7about 5 minutes

Serving tools remotely with an MCP server

Decouple tools from your agent by running them on a dedicated MCP server, making them accessible to any connected agent.

#8about 12 minutes

Building a multi-agent system with the A2A protocol

Create a collaborative system by running specialized agents on A2A servers and connecting them to a primary orchestrator agent.

#9about 3 minutes

Showcasing the complete multi-agent game master

A full demonstration shows a game master agent orchestrating a character agent, a rules agent, and a dice-rolling tool via a UI.

#10about 1 minute
