Beyond Chatbots: Creating Smarter, Personalized Experiences
summary
A Drupal-centered proof of concept for the University of Waterloo uses embeddings and a vector database to power semantic search, calls an agentic framework (Agno with ~130 third‑party tools) for live weather and Google Maps, renders SDC components and Drupal media, and creates true Drupal form submissions that generate registration content, email and calendar entries; the AG-UI module decides tool calls and renders personalized pages and a downloadable brochure PDF, and the recorded demo shows it working end to end.
