Agentic AI essentials + Hands-on: $0 AI agent in 15 mins
Everyone is talking about "AI agents." Fewer people can tell you how they are built, let alone ship one.
This meetup fixes both. In ninety minutes, you will go from what is agentic AI to a chatbot answering questions by performing actions on your own website - built live, together, using Fernfly, a tiny model you can practically run for free.
No heavy theory, no giant cloud bills. Bring a laptop and leave with something that works.
Hosted by the team at Fernfly, an antelligent company.
What you will walk away with
A clear, jargon-free mental model of agentic AI: agents, tools, and why they beat a plain chatbot
An understanding of when a tiny, task-specific model beats a giant general one
A working website chatbot you built yourself during the session
The know-how to keep running it for virtually $0
