Human-in-the-Loop Design for Agentic AI Systems

Tool Showcase
Beginner to Intermediate
In this presentation I will focus on why Human in the Loop is a critical requirement for real world AI adoption. While most discussions today lean toward full automation, the reality inside organizations shows that AI becomes significantly more dependable when a human remains involved at specific decision points. This approach is still not widely recognized or properly framed in the industry. The goal of this session is to bring clarity on how to design AI in a way that actually works in production environments. The presentation will break down Human in the Loop into clear mental models. Where AI can act independently with high confidence and where human judgment is required. I will explain how intervention checkpoints can be structured without slowing down execution, how verification loops and escalation steps should be designed to maintain control without micromanaging the workflow. We will go through examples showing how hybrid AI flows outperform both fully manual operations and fully autonomous pipelines. The audience will understand how this model reduces repetitive review cycles while still keeping accountability and context with humans. To help the audience understand this concept better, I will also walk through a short working build of a Human in the Loop AI flow end to end. This build will make it easier for people to see how these principles translate into an operational system. Outcome for attendees: They will gain a grounded understanding of how to design AI environments that are faster, safer and can scale. They will be able to clearly differentiate when AI should operate on its own and when human oversight becomes necessary. The core learning will be about how Human in the Loop is the central structure that makes AI usable and dependable in real world applications.

Building an Agentic AI Medical Scribe with LangGraph: From Voice to Structured SOAP Notes

Library demonstration
Intermediate to Advanced
Medical documentation continues to be one of the biggest productivity bottlenecks in healthcare. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to design and deploy an agentic AI medical scribe that transforms real or simulated doctor–patient conversations into structured SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) notes. Using LangGraph, we’ll build a dynamic, multi-agent system where each node performs a specialized task and communicates through a shared memory graph: Transcription Agent — converts clinical dialogue into text using a speech-to-text model. Information Extraction Agent — identifies key clinical entities such as symptoms, vitals, and diagnoses. Summarization Agent — generates structured SOAP notes and validates internal consistency through a self-reflective loop. Attendees will see how LangGraph enables state-aware orchestration and real-time coordination between these agents, how to integrate retrieval grounding using clinical ontologies (ICD-10, SNOMED), and how to measure performance with F1, ROUGE-L, and readability metrics. By the end, participants will deploy a lightweight, production-ready prototype that demonstrates how agentic workflows can automate time-consuming documentation tasks—while remaining transparent, auditable, and compliant.

Architecting Enterprise Knowledge: Building an Intelligent Document Q&A System with Java, Spring AI, and RAG

Library demonstration
Intermediate
This hands-on tutorial is designed for enterprise Java developers looking to integrate the power of Generative AI into their existing document-centric applications, drawing parallels to real-world systems like ADEx Document Intelligence. We will bridge the gap between traditional Java/Spring Boot backends and modern AI architecture by implementing a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline. Attendees will learn to transform large volumes of unstructured data (PDFs, reports, etc.)—the kind of documents handled in document intelligence systems—into an intelligent, queryable knowledge base. What You Will Learn: Document Ingestion (ETL): How to use the Spring AI framework to read documents, chunk them for optimal AI processing, and generate vector embeddings. Vector Storage: Setting up and integrating an open-source vector database (like Postgres with pgvector or an equivalent) to store these embeddings, creating a proprietary, searchable knowledge index. RAG Implementation: Building the core Java service that handles a user query, retrieves the most relevant document snippets from the vector store, and augments the prompt sent to a Large Language Model (LLM) to generate an accurate, non-hallucinated answer based solely on the source documents. Best Practices: Discussing architecture patterns for scalability and how this approach maintains data security and governance, a critical requirement in enterprise settings (e.g., in Finance or Energy, like his time at bp). By the end, you’ll have a production-ready blueprint for an intelligent Q&A microservice, proving that the Java ecosystem is at the forefront of the Generative AI revolution.
