Join our hands-on workshop series introducing beginners and intermediate learners to the exciting world of AI agent design. Over the course of several sessions, you will explore the fundamentals of prompt engineering, experiment with language models, and build prototypes of AI agents and services (fortune telling oracles, news agency, simulations of debates). Participants will gain practical skills in designing, testing, and iterating conversational agents tailored to real-world scenarios, from simple chatbots to simulations with more agents.
No coding experience is necessary for the beginner track, and the intermediate track includes optional technical extensions for those with basic Python or web development experience. All materials are freely available under open licenses, and the workshops are rooted in principles of responsible, transparent, and creative AI use.
Cost: A modest fee supports the local hackerspace hosting the event. Participants are warmly invited to join the hackerspace community afterward, with access to future meetups, tools, and peer learning opportunities.
Bring your curiosity, your ideas, and your questions. Design your first AI agent, and learn how to do it with care, critique, and creativity, also learn what is under the hood of your ChatGPT, Claude etc.
