Agent Factory in Agentic Enterprise

Vladimir Hruban, AI GTM Lead at Google Cloud

Agent Factory in Agentic Enterprise Building a proof-of-concept AI assistant with a prompt and an API key takes a moment; scaling autonomous multi-agent networks inside an enterprise takes an entirely new paradigm. In this session, Google AI GTM Lead Vladimir Hruban cuts through the GenAI hype to look at agent design through a enterprise lens. Discover the "Agent Factory" point of view to move past brittle copilots into reliable, goal-driven enterprise systems that actually scale.

Building an Autonomous Agent Harness & Web Prototype on Google Antigravity

Milen Genchev, Customer Engineer at Google Cloud

As frontier models commoditize, the real engineering bottleneck in autonomous software delivery is no longer raw model intelligence—it is the agent harness surrounding the model. In this session, I will share the architecture and engineering behind a custom autonomous agent harness and custom web prototype that I built from the ground up in an isolated Google Cloud environment on top of Google Antigravity, Vertex AI Gemini models, and open Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. The session concludes with a live end-to-end walkthrough of this custom-built prototype in action—demonstrating multi-agent orchestration, live cloud analytics, and autonomous self-verification.

Getting into robotics with the help of AI

Sam Aleksov, Chief Software Engineer at EPAM

What happens when you combine the physical world of robotics with the creative and problem-solving power of modern AI? For many developers, robotics has long felt like a daunting field requiring specialized hardware knowledge, complex control systems and steep learning curves. But what if AI could change all of that? Samuil will explore how artificial intelligence is radically lowering the barrier to entry for robotics, empowering developers and enthusiasts to design, prototype, and program physical machines faster and more intelligently than ever before. Whether you're curious about bridging software and hardware or looking to see how generative models and intelligent agents can assist in building physical solutions, this talk will give you a fresh perspective on the future of automation.
