Build and deploy your first agent with Mastra

​Build and deploy a TypeScript-powered AI agent with tools and human-like memory in under an hour.

​In this hands-on session, you’ll build a genuinely useful AI agent step by step: wiring up tools, adding memory and storage, and giving it the ability to act - not just chat. You’ll learn how to pick and switch between providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), how to stream responses, and how to design agents that plug cleanly into your application.

​By the end, you’ll have a working agent you can deploy and adapt to your own projects.

​What you’ll learn

• ​Agents vs. agentic workflows - and when to choose each

• ​How to build a TypeScript-based agent with tool calling, end to end

• ​How to create your own custom tools

• ​How to use tools from an MCP

• ​How to choose and swap models, and tune the settings that actually matter

• ​The foundations of streaming (and how to wire it into your UI)

• ​Structured output with Zod, including validation and error handling patterns

• ​How to add memory and storage so your agent can use past conversations in a meaningful way

• ​How to inspect what your agent is doing under the hood using traces

• ​Proven multi-agent patterns, with concrete guidance you can adapt to your own use cases

• ​How to deploy your agent to Mastra Cloud

​Expect live coding, concrete demos, and a full deployment walkthrough so you leave with a working agent you can adapt to your own projects.
