The world of AI agents is changing constantly - every couple of weeks, it seems there is some new thing. In this talk, I'll try to sum up the current state of the art when using AI agents with Julia - from which agents to use, MCP servers, skills and whatever else comes up between now and then. If you have only dipped your toes into using AI with Julia so far, this talk is for you!
This talk is mainly to give an overview of what exists and what efforts are still ongoing. It will mainly focus on the foundational strategies of how to use AI to develop Julia packages and work with Julia code.
I'm_ mainly orienting this talk at folks who may not have used agents much yet, to provide a basic grounding in techniques that they can use going forward. It probably will be a bit boring for folks who are really using AI agents at this point.
