Intro to AI Agents for MIT Sloan Alums (1/3) / Build Along
Join for this invite-only series for MIT Sloan alumni to get hands on experience building your own AI Agents with no code platform Lindy AI.
✨ All backgrounds welcome. No pre-req experience required.
Our goal is to help you understand the latest through hands on experience building your own AI agents and assistants.
What you'll get from the workshop
2 hrs of time to build time, feedback, and curated discussion
Recording of the session for future reference
AI Agent follow-along guides and templates for 2x builds
Sliding Scale Tickets
$50-$250 - This is a sliding scale so you can pay what you can.
You will also need a pro account on Lindy to get access to premium integrations.

What this session will cover
Cut through the noise and marketing hype to get clear understanding for what's possible right now and how you can use AI assistants in your own day to day.
Best practices when building automated workflow v. agentic workflow v. AI Agents. You will have examples of each one in Lindy AI.
Intro to fundamentals and mental models for how to understand transformers, tool use, integrations, and strategic deployment of AI assistants and workflows.
Two agent templates. We'll be building one of the agents in real time in the build along time so you can get all questions answered. You'll have everything documented and templated so you can go back to it.
In this session we'll be building two AI agents
Personal super assistant agent. You can add as many integrations as you want to see how far you can make a single AI agent go for personal workflows.
Calendar meeting agent. To introduce workflow automation, we'll cover a calendar meeting assistant that can send daily briefings and do research on your behalf to make sure you are prepped for the day.

FAQ
Why are you doing this?
Both Nabil + Michael really enjoy facilitating experiences for others to learn, build, and grow. With 15+ years of combined experience, you'll be in good hands!
Can I expense this if I have L+D budget?
Cool perk! Yes, you can. Here's a letter for you.
If I join one, do I need to join all three?
No. Each one stands alone as it's own workshop. Join for more if you want to deepen your understanding and build more!
What if I can't join at this time?
If it's because of time zones, drop us a note! If we get enough interest, we can offer a second time.
If I can't make it and cancel, then can I get a refund?
Of course. Life happens. No questions asked, we'll refund you.
Are AI Agents overhyped?
Totally. In some ways, they are also underhyped. Understanding what's possible now and how quickly things are evolving, you'll get a sense for yourself where the future is headed.
