But engineering a true agent that reasons, remembers, and acts often feels like a massive undertaking. We will start with the fundamentals: exploring the architecture and the building blocks of agentic applications and comparing the different abstraction frameworks available to build them. Once we have the theory down, we’ll put it into practice with Zooka, a fully functional AI Cardiologist Assistant. You’ll see how efficient modern development can be as we walk through Zooka’s core logic, written in under 300 lines of code. Finally, we’ll look under the hood at how this architecture handles complex challenges like session management and user-scoped long-term memory. We’ll cover data integration using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for vector and knowledge graph searches, and show exactly how to wire it all up to a live frontend application ## Speaker ### [Ahmad Adel](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@ahmad-adel) Data and AI Specialist at Google ## Related talks at this congress - [From Zero to MCP UI Hero: Building Context-Aware AI Apps That Actually Work](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2026-europe-virtual-stage/sessions/1548-from-zero-to-mcp-ui) — Vishal Dodiya - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2026-europe-virtual-stage/sessions/1481-ai-agents-agentic-ai) — Xavier Sala Presas - [Your AI Agent is just a while loop with an API call.
