For the 10th anniversary of Salon Data IA, I was invited to talk about #Agent colonization in the data platform team at Carrefour

5 agents in 6 months, with the power of Google Cloud and #Gemini, and the flexibility of #ADK

Here the slides:

I'm very proud to share my first open source agentic contribution with my first accepted merge into #ADK framework.

I added the support of the long-term memory generation for compatible services, like Agent Engine Memory Bank, into the ADK built-in web server.

Agentic voice streaming offers a revolutionary way to interact with agent!

Combined with sessions and memories, it's a perfect companion. But when you plug it to #AgentEngine, you can have issues with #Gemini live

I've solved it and proposed an implementation with #ADK

Agent Engine with Gemini BiDi Streaming Session Workaround

Real time voice interaction is the best way to interact with agent. But agent engine is not ready yet. How to go beyond the limitations?

A disaster can happen anytime!!

Thus, for critical data and use cases, having data replication with #BigQuery is paramount.
You can use the dataset cross region replication feature, but how much will it cost you?

In my latest article, discover a way to get an estimate

BigQuery Cross-Region Replication: Don’t Overlook the Network Costs

Cross region replication involves cost hard to estimate with BigQuery. However, there is a way to approximate egress cost
