Building AI Agents With Koog
from Talking Kotlin Hosted by Talking Kotlin
Sebastian and Márton talk to Vadim Briliantov, the Technical Lead for Koog: an agentic framework built by JetBrains. We learn about what AI agents are, and why building them in Kotlin with Koog is a great choice. We also discuss all the different ways AI agents can connect to other systems and your existing code, and look at advanced features for agents like custom strategies, model switching, and history compression.
