WAAI × Wajo AI: Agents That Actually Do Daily Tasks
What if your AI could do more than just answer questions? What if it could actually get things done for you?
From automating everyday tasks to building simple apps and creating workflows that run on their own, AI agents are changing how we interact with technology. But what does it actually take to build and use one?
Join Women Applying AI (WAAI) Seattle Hub in collaboration with Wajo AI for an interactive, hands-on workshop where we move beyond talking about AI and start building with it.
This isn't your typical AI presentation! You'll explore practical applications of AI agents, collaborate with fellow attendees, and experience what it's like to turn an idea into something that actually works. Whether you're new to AI or already experimenting with it, this evening is about learning by doing, sharing ideas, and building together.
What to Expect:
Explore AI Agents in Action: Discover how AI agents can automate everyday activities, manage recurring tasks, and help bring ideas to life through practical examples.
Build Something Yourself: Collaborate in small groups to experiment with real-world use cases, from recurring automations to simple applications and agent-powered workflows.
Hear from an AI Builder: Watch a special pre-recorded message from Shivani Poddar, Founder of Wajo AI, sharing her perspectives on building AI agents and their real-world potential. -
Discover WAAI's AI Engine Lab: Hear from Jade Davila, Head of the AI Engine Lab at Women Applying AI, through a pre-recorded message as she shares her vision for the lab and opportunities for designers, engineers, product builders, creative thinkers, and AI enthusiasts to volunteer and collaborate on emerging projects.
Share, Learn & Connect: Discover what other groups create, exchange ideas, and connect with Seattle's growing AI community.
Participants will receive access to Fo, Wajo AI's agent, to experiment with during the workshop and continue exploring afterward.
