Agentic AI - Using ReAct Agents with REST APIs for Network Automation

In this video, we dive into the world of Agentic AI, focusing on how ReAct Agents can interact with REST APIs to automate complex network tasks. You'll learn: What is a REST API? We'll explain REST APIs (Representational State Transfer) and why they are the backbone of modern web communication. Traditional Interfaces with REST APIs: How we typically interact with REST APIs using tools like Postman and WebUI. Pokémon REST API Example: Watch how we fetch data from the Pokémon REST API using Postman to get details about Pokémon like Pikachu, and see a live example of ReAct agents simulating Pokémon battles! Cisco APIC for ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure): We’ll explore how REST APIs enable software-defined networking for the data center. ReAct Agents in Action: Discover how everything in the modern data center revolves around REST APIs and see how we build AI Agents to 'talk' to Cisco APIC with natural language, automate tasks, and control networks using ReAct Agents. If you’re into network automation, AI, and APIs, this video is for you! Watch now and learn how to use ReAct Agents to automate everything from Pokémon battles to managing enterprise networks.
