Build an AI Agent with AI-Assisted Coding
In this free live workshop with Isaac Flath (Kentro Tech, ex-Answer.AI), Eleanor Berger (OKIGU, ex-Microsoft, ex-Google), and Hugo Bowne-Anderson (Vanishing Gradients), you’ll learn how to use AI coding tools to design, prototype, and build an AI agent, end to end.
Most developers use Copilot or ChatGPT to autocomplete lines of code. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn to go beyond autocomplete and use AI as a genuine collaborator, one that helps you reason, plan, and build systems that actually work.
You’ll learn how to:
Break down an agent problem into components AI tools can code
Prompt and guide your AI Assistant Cursor to implement each part (we’ll provide instructions for whatever assistant you use: Cursor, Claude Code, and more!)
Integrate generated code into a working Python application
Iterate, debug, and improve your agent collaboratively with AI
We’ll build a working agent together, a simple retrieval-based assistant that can:
Call external APIs
Retrieve and summarize information
Handle user input interactively
Along the way, you’ll see how to:
🧠 Use AI as a design partner, not just a code generator
⚙️ Evaluate and correct model-generated code
🔍 Debug collaboratively with AI tools
🔁 Apply iterative development principles to AI-assisted workflows
By the end, you’ll understand how to use AI coding assistants to go from idea to functioning agent, while maintaining control over quality, logic, and architecture.
If you can’t make it, register and we’ll share the recording after.
