Efficient Frontier Labs

 is a free, recurring series of hands-on AI sessions in Downtown Oakland. Every other Thursday, 12-3 PM.

AI gets useful when it can interact with the outside world. In this session, we cover tool use, function calling, MCP, and how AI agents talk to live APIs.

You will build a working agent during the session. API keys are provisioned on-site, so nobody has to manage credentials manually. Bring a laptop. No prior agent-building experience required.

This is the first session in a progressive series. Each one builds on the last, but drop-ins are welcome. Sessions are recorded and posted online.

Location: 1900 Broadway, 2nd Floor, Oakland, CA Cost: Free, always
