Looking for a practical workshop on building an AI Agent on Databricks? Well, we have just the thing for you.This hands-on workshop takes you through the process of creating intelligent agents that can reason their way to useful outcomes. You'll start by building your own toolkit of SQL and Python functions that give your agent practical capabilities. Then we'll explore how to select the right foundation model for your needs, connect your custom tools, and watch as your agent tackles complex challenges through visible reasoning paths.The workshop doesn't just stop at building—you'll dive into evaluation techniques using evaluation datasets to identify where your agent shines and where it needs improvement. After implementing and measuring your changes, we'll explore deployment strategies, including a feedback collection interface that enables continuous improvement and governance mechanisms to ensure responsible AI usage in production environments.

Struggling to implement traditional machine learning models that deliver real business value? Join us for a hands-on exploration of classical ML techniques powered by Databricks' Mosaic AI platform. This session focuses on time-tested approaches like regression, classification and clustering — showing how these foundational methods can solve real business problems when combined with Databricks' scalable infrastructure and MLOps capabilities. Key takeaways: Building production-ready ML pipelines for common business use cases including customer segmentation, demand forecasting and anomaly detection Optimizing model performance using Databricks' distributed computing capabilities for large-scale datasets Implementing automated feature engineering and selection workflows Establishing robust MLOps practices for model monitoring, retraining and governance Integrating classical ML models with modern data processing techniques
