The next era of agent building is here: graph engineering. At Build with AI DC, developers will spend one intense day building long-running, self-evolving multi-agent systems powered by Google’s agentic stack.
At the workshop, you’ll launch an autonomous agent team that creates data-driven video campaigns, optimizes live ad bids and self-patches behind eval gates. No fluff. Just multi-agent orchestration, long-horizon autonomy, self-evolving harnesses, context-rot survival, and limited-edition swag. 80 seats. One day. Bring your laptop and build an agent that keeps going after you stop.
What You'll Learn:
- Escape Naive Loops with Graph Engineering
- Master Long-Horizon Autonomy & Zero-Cost Pausing
- Orchestrate A2A & Multi-Modal Doorbells
- Agent memory management
- Self-Repair & Prompt Medics
- Stream Real-Time Event-Driven Arbitrage
- Build Eval-Gated Self-Evolving Harnesses

Lab 1: Orchestrating Long Horizon Durable Agent Swarms with Zero Cost Pausing
Let’s be real: basic prompt loops are dead. If your agent falls apart from context rot the second a task takes longer than four minutes, you're building toys. Real production work takes hours: human approvals take time, subagents run in parallel, and feedback arrives tomorrow. The golden rule of modern agent design is simple: an agent is defined by where its state lives, because its process has to be allowed to die.
In this hands-on lab, you’ll build and ship an autonomous channel-running agent built with Google’s ADK, Gemini on Vertex AI, BigQuery Property Graphs (GQL), and Vertex AI Memory Bank. You'll swap messy while loops for clean graph engineering, fan out parallel research nodes without thread pools, and park your runs at zero compute cost using durable SQLite sessions. Along the way, you’ll handle asynchronous human-in-the-loop approvals, run hybrid GraphRAG over real audience data, and give your agent a cross-run Memory Bank that consolidates what it learns.

Lab 2: Data Engineering with Real Time Auction Streams and Self Patching Harnesses
Putting an LLM in the middle of a live, millisecond-scale auction loop is an architectural nightmare. Hand-crafted bidding rules fall apart the moment traffic patterns shift, while raw LLMs are too slow, expensive, and non-deterministic to call on every impression. Modern agentic data engineering flips the script, where the agent analyzes real-time telemetry, generates deterministic bidding logic, and continuously patches its own execution harness.
In this hands-on lab, you’ll build and deploy an autonomous AI Data Engineer using Google ADK, Gemini on Vertex AI, BigQuery streaming ingestion. You'll ditch manual SQL tuning and brittle scripts to equip your agent with declarative tools to inspect partitioned live auction telemetry and generate optimized Python bidding policies. Then, you’ll close the self-evolution loop, deploy in-run failure monitors that catch spend velocity anomalies, trigger automated harness self-patching, and validate every strategy update against long-horizon eval benches before safely merging code to production.
