About this Masterclass

The future of AI is not just about generating text—it is about taking action. While basic chatbots only answer questions, autonomous AI agents can reason through complex tasks, call external APIs, and solve multi-step problems without constant human input.

This 90-minute hands-on masterclass is designed for developers, builders, and tech enthusiasts ready to move from theory to practical implementation. We will build and deploy a working AI agent live on screen, covering core decision loops, tool integrations, and memory management. By the end of the session, you will have a working codebase ready to customize for your own workflows and projects.

Curriculum

1. Foundations of Autonomous Agents

  • Difference between standard chatbots, prompt chains, and autonomous agents

  • The core agentic cycle: Reasoning, Planning, Tool Execution, and Observation

  • Selecting the right stack and architecture (Frameworks vs. Native APIs)

2. Building the Decision Engine & Tool Integration (Live Coding)

  • Setting up the agent loop to execute dynamic, multi-step tasks

  • Connecting external tools such as web search engines, calculators, and custom APIs

  • Implementing function calling to guarantee reliable, structured outputs

3. State Management, Memory & Self-Correction

  • Managing conversational state and integrating persistent memory

  • Error-handling strategies and self-healing loops when tool executions fail

  • Implementing guardrails, cost limits, and infinite-loop prevention

4. Real-World Applications & Deployment

  • Packaging the agent codebase for production use

  • High-impact business automation patterns and multi-agent systems

  • Live code walkthrough, troubleshooting, and Q&A session

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. You should be comfortable writing code (any language), but no prior AI/ML background is required — the workshop starts from the fundamentals of what makes an agent different from a chatbot.

You'll live-code a working autonomous agent — including its decision engine, tool integrations (web search, calculators, custom APIs), and memory/state handling — across the 90-minute session.

It's a fully online, live workshop. You'll need a laptop with a code editor and a stable internet connection to follow along.

The workshop is run live to keep it interactive and hands-on. Check the event page closer to the date for the latest details on recording availability.

Yes — participants who attend the live session receive a certificate reflecting the agent they build, not just attendance.

Developers, builders, and tech enthusiasts who understand AI concepts in theory and want hands-on practice building a real, working autonomous agent.
