AI Agents for Founders: Setup, Use Cases, and What Actually Works

​AI agent tools are here. The setup is learnable. What's missing, for most people, is how to weave this altogether and apply it to their particular use case.

​Plug and Play Seattle is hosting a workshop on AI agents – specifically, how to set one up, connect it to the tools you already use, and put it to work on the problems that are costing you the most time. Darian Parrish, a Seattle-based founder who currently runs 15+ agents across his own business, will walk through the setup, share the use cases that have actually moved the needle, and answer the questions founders don't usually get to ask.

​This is a hands-on session for founders, operators, and builders who are ready to move from curious to operational.

​You'll leave knowing:

• ​An overview of AI agents and why it's gaining traction with early-stage founders

• ​How to run the setup yourself, step by step – including common mistakes to avoid

• ​The use cases that deliver the most operating leverage on a lean team

• ​How to think about agents as a force multiplier, not a replacement

​Details:

• ​When: May 2026 from 5:00pm - 6:30pm

• ​Where: Startup Hall, Seattle, WA

• ​Format: In-person
