Build Your First AI Agent: From Ideas to Action
Build Your First AI Agent
A Hands-On Workshop | AI-Powered Women Boston
AI is opening opportunities that once seemed out of reach without technical skills or someone to build things for us.
But learning to use AI isn't just about learning new tools. It's also about changing how we approach problems, organize our work, and make decisions.
What if you could turn your own idea into a working AI assistant?
Join us for an interactive, beginner-friendly workshop where we'll explore what AI agents can do and build one together!
We'll use CareerMatch AI as our example: a personal AI assistant that helps you explore career opportunities based on your experience, interests, and goals.
The idea isn't to become an AI expert in one evening. It's to discover what's possible and gain the confidence to keep exploring.
No coding experience required. Just bring your curiosity and creativity!
What you'll take away
A better understanding of what AI agents are and how they can help you.
A new perspective on how AI can support everyday tasks, workflows, and decisions.
Hands-on experience building your own AI assistant.
Ideas for how to apply what you've learned to your own work and interests.
