Course overview
Build Strategic AI Agents: From Opportunity to Prototype in Two Sessions
This hands-on training is designed to equip professionals with the correct mindset, tools, and skills to design, build, and deploy their own AI agents using a no-code platform. Over the course of two practical sessions, participants will move from initial concept to working prototype. The course is built using the "I Do, We Do, You Do" framework to ensure learning is immediately applicable.
Participants will learn to identify real-world tasks or workflows where AI agents can improve efficiency or unlock new value. They will gain practical experience in designing and building agents suited to their business context, while also understanding how to structure logic and plan for deployment.
By the end of the programme, each participant will have a working AI agent, a personalized workbook to document their design and deployment approach, and a clear plan to apply what they’ve learned in their daily work.
