RSVP Closes on Sep 28, at 5pm.

We are continuing our "For Coders, by coders" events. And this one is also HANDS ON!

This time, we are going to code AI agents! While everyone around us keep talking about how AI tools and agents are cool and how we can use it, we are going to dive deep into creating our own agents and using them through different SDKs and coding techniques.

Create an Agentic AI for Personal Finance by Kaan Turgut

Agentic AI isn’t just about answering questions—it’s about building systems that can plan, act, and validate results through connected tools. In this session, we’ll walk through how to create such an agent step by step using Azure services and the Python SDK. To demonstrate, we’ll build a Personal Finance AI agent that ingests receipts and bank statements, parses them into structured data, categorizes transactions, and generates monthly reports with recommendations. While the demo focuses on the financial domain, the real goal is to showcase the coding patterns, architecture, and agentic loops you can apply to any problem space.
