This event is exclusively for professionals working in UK public services – thank you for your understanding.
Join experts from Kerv, Microsoft and across the Public Sector for an energetic, hands-on Agentic AI Hackathon designed exclusively for the UK Public Sector. This is your opportunity to explore the next frontier of intelligent automation and generative AI with Microsoft Copilot Studio – empowering your teams to solve real-world challenges and reimagine how public services are delivered.
What is Agentic AI?
Agentic AI represents a shift in how AI can operate, not just responding to commands, but proactively orchestrating tasks, reasoning across data, and interacting across systems. In this hackathon, you’ll harness the latest in Microsoft’s AI tooling, including Copilot Studio’s new orchestration capabilities, to build intelligent agents that can support and transform business processes. They can perceive, reason, plan and carry out the actions for you!
