What you'll learn

How Search Evolved Into AI

Trace the shift from directories and keywords to semantic search, generative answers, and AI agents.

From Finding Answers to Taking Action

Understand how agents move beyond retrieving information to reasoning, deciding, and completing tasks.

What Changes When Agents Do the Searching?

Explore how search must evolve when AI agents, not humans, become the primary consumers of information.

Building for the Agentic Search Era

Learn what developers need to rethink as search becomes a core infrastructure layer for intelligent agents.

Why this topic matters

AI agents are quickly moving from experimentation to production, with access to sensitive data, APIs, credentials, and critical business systems. In this 15-minute session, we’ll explore the new security challenges created by agentic applications and how teams can build with security in mind from day one. We’ll cover identity, secrets, access, and practical ways developers can securely connect agents to the tools and systems they need.
