Builders Foundry hosts an online session with Jacques van der Merwe on whether a software problem needs an AI agent. The architecture-focused talk moves from deterministic logic to an LLM, retrieval, tool calling, an autonomous agent and multi-agent design, weighing each step’s added capability against its complexity. It uses Microsoft technologies including Foundry, Agent Framework, Azure AI Search and Entra to ground the concepts. A Q&A with the host follows. The event is aimed at engineers, architects, platform teams and technical founders.
