Starting From Zero?
Never built an AI agent? Perfect.
This workshop starts from zero. You don't need coding experience, a technical background, or any prior AI knowledge. You'll learn what AI agents are, how they work, and how to build one that automates real tasks in your work. Just bring a laptop and a workflow you'd like to automate.
What You'll Learn
Skills you'll walk away with
What AI Agents Actually Are
Cut through the hype. Understand what agents can and can't do, how they differ from chatbots, and which business problems they're genuinely good at solving.
Agent Architecture
Learn the building blocks — triggers, actions, memory, decision logic. Understand how agents think so you can build ones that actually work reliably.
Prompting for Agents
Agent prompting is different from chat prompting. Learn to write instructions that produce consistent, reliable behavior — not one-off clever responses.
Building Your First Agent
Go from concept to a working agent that handles a real business task. You'll build it yourself, step by step, with hands-on guidance.
Testing & Reliability
The difference between a demo agent and a production agent is reliability. Learn to test edge cases, handle failures, and build agents you can actually trust.
Deploying & Monitoring
Get your agent running in production. Learn how to monitor its performance, catch issues, and improve it over time.
Real Outputs
You won't leave with notes. You'll leave with something that works.
Examples of what workshop participants build in a single day:
Lead Qualification Agent
An AI agent that responds to inbound inquiries within minutes, asks qualifying questions, scores them, and routes the important ones to you or your team.
Email Triage Agent
An agent that reads your inbox, categorizes messages by urgency and topic, drafts responses, and flags what actually needs your attention.
Customer Support Agent
An always-on agent trained on your FAQ and docs that handles 80% of support questions automatically and escalates the rest.
Meeting Prep Agent
An agent that researches attendees, summarizes past interactions, pulls relevant docs, and generates talking points before every meeting.
Content Repurposing Agent
An agent that takes one piece of content — a blog post, a meeting recording, a report — and turns it into social posts, emails, and summaries.
Data Monitoring Agent
An agent that watches your key metrics, detects anomalies, and alerts you with context and suggested actions — not just raw numbers.
The Agenda
Your day, hour by hour
Agent Fundamentals & Setup
Understand agent architecture, set up your development environment, and build a simple agent to see how the pieces fit together. Running code within the first hour.
Your Agent Project Begins
Choose the business workflow you want to automate. We'll design your agent's logic, define its triggers and actions, and start building.
Core Build Session
The main building block. Your agent takes shape — processing inputs, making decisions, taking actions. This is where the "aha" moment happens.
Edge Cases & Reliability
What happens when inputs are unexpected? When APIs fail? When the agent gets confused? Learn to build agents that handle the real world, not just the happy path.
Deploy & Integrate
Connect your agent to real tools and data sources. Deploy it so it runs on its own. Your agent goes from prototype to production.
Launch & Next Steps
Test with real data, get feedback, and leave with a roadmap for building your next agent. One agent is just the beginning.
Why In-Person
Skip the online AI fluff
- Real accountability — you can't alt-tab to email
- Over-the-shoulder coaching — not a Zoom webinar you'll forget by Monday
- Small group (10 max) — real attention, real help, real progress
- You leave having actually built something — not just watched someone else do it
- Premium experience in a private conference room — not a crowded lecture hall
Most AI education is online, passive, and easy to abandon. This is the opposite.
The Data
The AI gap is real
Most people know AI matters. Very few are actually using it. That's the opportunity — and the risk.

FAQ
Common questions
The founding workshop rate is $349 (normally $597). Traditional AI workshops charge $1,500–$3,000. No payment is required until your application is accepted, and you get a full refund if you cancel before the workshop date.
No. We use tools that let you build AI agents by describing what you want them to do. You'll learn to design agent logic and behavior — no programming required.
Just a laptop. We handle the rest — all software, accounts, and tools are set up at the start of the day. Mac, Windows, or Linux all work.
In a private conference room in Phoenix, AZ. The exact venue is shared with accepted participants. It's a comfortable, professional space with good WiFi and plenty of room to work.
A working AI agent tailored to your work. Common projects include inquiry response bots, email triage systems, support agents, meeting prep assistants, and content repurposing workflows. You pick the task you want automated — we help you build the agent.
Business owners, operators, founders, marketers, analysts — anyone who wants to use AI for real work. Engineers are welcome too, but this isn't a developer workshop. It's built for people who want practical results.
Good — that means you understand AI can be useful. But chatting with AI and deploying an AI agent are completely different. Agents run on their own, make decisions, and take actions without you being there. This workshop teaches you to build that.
Yes — many participants have their employer cover the cost. We provide a 1-page Manager Brief you can forward that explains the ROI. See the Employer section above for details.
Full refund if you cancel before the workshop date. No questions asked. If you attend and don't leave with a working workflow, you can join the next workshop free.
