GeekAcademy Workshop #2 - Building Agentic Systems with a Spec-Driven Approach

​Shift from generative to agentic. In this advanced, hands-on workshop, you will apply Spec-Driven AI Engineering end-to-end: install and use Spec Kit, set up practical agent guidance, build an agentic app from spec using Microsoft Agent Framework, then develop a new MCP and plug it into your app.

​​Please note: Seats are very limited, and participation is subject to prior approval. Please wait for an email confirmation regarding your attendance.

​Attendance note: Apr 13th "From Builder to Ruler: Spec‑Driven AI Engineering" webinar participation is required for this workshop.
