Large Language Models and AI Agents: Beyond ChatGPT and Copilot

LLM-based AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini are becoming standard features of productivity tools used in knowledge work. In this webinar, we address the next frontier of LLM technology, particularly AI agents. We discuss how this technology can help organizations become more efficient by allowing employees to focus on essential tasks while leaving repetitive work for an AI to handle. Among other applications, we explore how AI-based coding assistants are making software development more accessible to everyone, from professional developers to business users.
