A hands-on beginner friendly workshop. Build & Publish your first Data Agent

Why This Workshop Matters

"I've been crunching numbers and telling data stories for the last 20 years... and yet, I felt left out."

I felt AI was taking over and I wasn't able to catch up. My company added "use AI weekly" to our OKRs, and I'd nod along in the meeting, then go home and not open the tool for another two weeks. Every tutorial assumed I already knew what an "agent" was. Every demo moved too fast and I sat there pretending to follow (sounds familiar?).

What actually broke the freeze was small: I stopped trying to learn AI in general and picked one real problem instead ---> a backlog of favorite podcast transcripts I never watched (how can they release so fast!). So I opened Claude and picked this dataset and tried solving this.

This workshop is that first rep, compressed into two hours and handed to you directly so you don't spend three weeks stuck where I was. You'll still need to keep practicing after.

But you'll start from a real win, not a blank cursor.

What you’ll learn

Learn to build a data storytelling agent — direct it, fix it, ship a real story and go from AI-aware to AI-capable.

  • Know the difference between asking a chatbot and giving an agent a mandate — the shift from using AI to building with it.

  • Customer calls, interviews, meeting notes — a repeatable method you can run the same afternoon you learn it.

  • The one-line trick that turns a vague, generic answer into something precise — most people never learn to push back.

  • Real working knowledge of agents, skills, and workflows — not buzzwords memorized for a meeting :)

  • A published data story before you leave the room — proof for a review or resume

Workshop agenda

  • 📖 Why consistency wins

    A personal story on catching up with AI — and why small, repeated practice beats a weekend binge session.

  • 💬 Claude basics: chat vs. agents vs. skills

    What each one actually is, in plain language, explained before you ever touch a keyboard yourself.

  • 🎙️ Meet your transcript

    Pick your own podcast episode from 269 real options and ask Claude your very first real question.

  • ⏱️ Build the Rhythm agent

    Turn raw speaker turns and timestamps into a radial clock that reveals the shape of the conversation.

  • 🔀 Dispatch three agents at once

    Mandates, shared contracts, and the live fix when one agent's output breaks — the heart of the session.

  • 🧩 Compose and edit the story

    Merge three separate outputs into one, then push back on the AI's first draft like a real editor would.

  • 🎨 Polish, publish with Claude Design

    Use Claude Design to make it beautiful, then post your finished story live — before you leave the room.
