Prompt Engineering & AI Agents
Tools, memory and autonomous workflows
- Saturday, 5 December 2026
- 9:30 am – 4:30 pm IST
- Main Seminar Hall, Block A, College of Engineering Kidangoor
Prompting is a skill, and agents are where it pays off. Learn structured prompting patterns, give a model tools to call, add retrieval so it knows your documents, and wire it all into an agent that completes a multi-step task — then learn how to evaluate it so it doesn't quietly fail.
You'll be able to…
- Write reliable prompts with examples and structure
- Build a retrieval-augmented (RAG) assistant
- Give an LLM tools and let it act
- Evaluate and guard an agent's outputs
Prerequisites
- Python basics
- Any prior step helps
What to bring
- Laptop (8 GB RAM recommended) and charger
- Python 3.11+ installed
- A Google account for Colab
- Curiosity — plenty of it
- Free API key from your LLM provider of choice
