Build x Agents: AI Agents for Small & Medium Businesses

​An evening on AI agents for small businesses: where they really help, how to get started, and what to watch out for. For owners, managers and teams.

​TL;DR

• ​For businesses: No coding needed. What agents can take off your plate today, and where the limits are.

• ​Exchange: Share your experience with AI: what worked, what went wrong, and what you'd do differently next time.

• ​Practical: Real workflows, a live example, and plenty of time for your questions.

​Agenda

1. ​Intro (19:00) Welcome and a quick overview of what we're doing tonight.

2. ​Topics & Discussion Short slides, a live example and open discussion. Ask questions at any time. The topics below are starting points — we pick together where to go deep.

   • ​Where AI really helps — your experience — What have you tried? What worked, what went wrong, and what would you do differently next time? Plus: which workflows are the easiest to hand to an agent.

   • ​Getting started — Which tools and plans, how to set up an agent for one task, and what to watch out for with customer data. With a live example.

   • ​Limits & problems — Where agents still fail, and how to keep control.

   • ​+ Your questions — Bring a task from your business and we look at it together.

3. ​Structured Connections Short 1-on-1 rounds with other businesses: swap what works in your area, based on what you tell us at registration.

4. ​Drinks & Connect Open conversation over drinks until 21:30.
