A Deep Dive into WineSom, an Agentic Flutter App

The term “agentic app” is everywhere these days but what does it mean for us as app developers? In this talk I look at what makes a Flutter application not only AI enabled but agentic through the example of a quirky wine themed chat app.
I will demonstrate how WineSom, an agentic Flutter app, leverages the firebase_ai interface to enable dynamic, context-aware multi-turn chat conversations with an LLM of choice. True agentic behaviour is reached through the strategic integration of function calls, which empower the AI model to autonomously identify the need for, and orchestrate actions such as the retrieval of real-time proprietary data.
The resulting WineSom app succeeds at engaging the user in a meaningful conversation about wine, while contributing factual information about available stock that is not in the public domain.
