Overview

Stop demoing agents. Start shipping them.

Most “AI agent” projects stall after the first impressive demo. This workshop is about the part that’s hard: turning an agent into something a team actually relies on — scoped to a real task, wired to real tools, with guardrails and a human in the loop.

You’ll build a working agent end to end and leave with a pattern you can reuse on your own operational problems.

Learning outcomes
Decide when an agent is the right tool
Scope an agent to one real task
Give it tools, memory, and context
Design guardrails and human-in-the-loop
Test and evaluate agent behavior
Deploy and monitor in production
Who it's for

Built for builders, not spectators.

This is for you if
  • You write some code and want to ship AI features, not just talk about them
  • You're a founder or operator automating a real workflow
  • You've tried agent demos but couldn't get one to production
  • You want a repeatable pattern, not a one-off prompt
Probably not for you if
  • You've never written or read any code
  • You want a pure no-code, click-only solution
  • You're looking for AI theory or research depth
  • You expect a fully built product handed to you
Required knowledge
Comfortable reading JavaScript or Python; basic API concepts.
Tools needed
A laptop, a code editor, and an API key (free tier works).
Time commitment
~3.5 hrs of video + 3–5 hrs of hands-on practice.

Finally a course that goes past the demo. I shipped my first real agent the same week — it now handles our intake triage.

The guardrails and human-in-the-loop module alone was worth it. Clear, practical, no hype.

Solid, hands-on, and honest about where agents don't fit. Wanted a bit more on cost control.

The workflow-mapping worksheet changed how my team scopes automation. Reused it three times already.
