	~~[optional~~: ~~put your longer description here]~~		As agentic AI becomes more prevalent, understanding the underlying control logic is essential for hackers looking to build, secure, or critique these systems. We’ll be covering:<br>
			* The Basic Loop: Understanding the reason, act, observe cycle.
			* Function Calling: How LLMs interact with external tools.
			* Iterative Logic: Designing the control flow that powers autonomous behavior.

	~~[put your short description here]~~		Many people interact with large language models (LLMs) through simple, linear chat interfaces. However, AI unlocks its true potential when these models are placed inside an agentic loop - a cycle of reasoning, acting, and observing. In this hands-on workshop, you will demystify AI agents by building a basic agentic loop from scratch using Python and the Gemini API. Participants will learn how to move beyond static prompts to create systems that can use tools, evaluate their own outputs, and iterate toward a goal. This workshop is designed to turn the magic of AI agents into a clear, hackable process.
