Build-an-Agent-Workshop

Facilitated by Thor Muller, who has designed and operationalized AI systems across businesses from startups to enterprises, and runs a living lab disguised as a café on North Main Street.

Most professionals have used AI. Few have built with it. Over three days, you'll learn how to design, deploy, and grow AI agents that work alongside you the way a sharp employee would. We start with first principles. What an agent actually is, what it can do, and where it fits in a working professional's day. Then we get hands-on with the pieces: memory, tools, instructions, judgment. You'll set up your own agent, see the tradeoffs between different options, and leave knowing how to extend it.

By day three, we're past the single agent. You'll learn how agents improve over time the way good employees do (through feedback, structure, and clearer context), how to coordinate multiple agents on real work, and how to bring your team into the loop so the system gets stronger with use rather than collecting dust.

What you'll leave with:

A working agent built around your actual work A framework for adding memory, tools, and oversight as your needs grow A playbook for expanding from one agent to a coordinated team A peer cohort of professionals building alongside you

Who it's for: Professionals, operators, and team leads who want to stop reading about AI agents and start running them. No coding background required. Three days. Small cohort. Bring your real work.
