Learn about AI agents for data engineering and data science. Join Smitha Kolan and Lucia Subatin as they cover new releases like the computer use model and CodeMender, and Lucia demos the BigQuery data engineering agent, the data science agent, and an ADK application for generating comics from Spanner concepts. The episode concludes with a Q&A session addressing the availability and scalability of the demonstrated agents.
