Overview

What you'll take away

A hands-on workshop where your team designs and builds one simple AI agent for a real, repetitive task, with a named owner, a human check and a kill switch.

Audience

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Teams ready to move from AI chat to simple automation
  • Operations and admin leads with repetitive, rules-based tasks
  • Mixed groups with no coding background

Not the right fit for

  • Custom software or model development
  • Fully autonomous agents with no human review
  • Tasks involving sensitive data in unapproved tools

Agenda

Sample agenda

A typical running order. We tailor the agenda and timings to your group before the day.

  1. 20 min

    Welcome and what an agent is

    Plain-language basics: what agents do well, where they fail and why every one needs an owner.

    Pick and map the task

    Choose one repetitive task. Map the steps, inputs, outputs and where a human must check.

  3. 30 min

    Write the agent's job description

    Goal, steps, tools, limits and what it must never do.

  4. 15 min

    Break

  5. 70 min

    Build it

    Hands-on with no-code tools: connect the steps, add the human review and the kill switch.

  6. 35 min

    Test with real examples

    Run it on sample cases, log errors and fix the biggest one.

  7. 20 min

    Owner, guardrails and next steps

    Who runs it, how you measure it and when you switch it off.
