At DevSparks Bengaluru 2026, @awscloud Developer Advocate Ashita Prasad ran a hands-on workshop for 170 developers, taking them from a minimal agent to a production-ready one using Strands Agents, AWS's open source AI agent SDK. The session covered the full stack: custom and community tools, local model support via Ollama, AWS services integration, MCP tool connections, streaming, Bedrock guardrails, and persistent memory using Memo. The throughline was a practical one: most agentic projects stall not because developers cannot build a demo but because they do not know how to make it hold up in production. The workshop was designed to close that gap, one lab at a time. Click here to know more: yourstory.com/2026/07/produc…

At DevSparks Bengaluru 2026, @Intuit 's Aavishkar Bharara made a persuasive case for agentic AI as the missing layer in fintech.
