AI Agents Masterclass with Temi Kolawole
Event Description
AI is shifting from tools you interact with to systems that can take action.
This masterclass introduces AI agents as a new approach to building and deploying software. These systems can perceive inputs, reason through tasks, plan actions, and execute with a meaningful degree of autonomy. They are not chatbots. They are foundational tools reshaping how products, services, and workflows are designed.
Led by Temi Kolawole, Managing Director of the Ilorin Innovation Hub, this session is grounded in real-world practice across AI product development, agent architecture, and applied research. It draws from hands-on work building AI-powered systems across multiple domains.
The goal is simple. Move beyond surface-level AI awareness and provide a clear, practical understanding of how AI agents work and where they create value, particularly within African contexts.
