The Toronto Snowflake User Group hosts an evening session on how AI agents are built in practice, taught as a class rather than a guided lab. It covers what a language model is and how that shapes system design, why context matters most, how tool use differs from classic RAG, and how semantic search and chunking work. The second half designs a pipeline failure triage agent live, working through approval, memory and trust when no human is awake, then compares deployment via Snowflake CoWork with an orchestration loop on Snowpark Container Services. Ryan and Augusto present a working end-to-end build.
