Working Session: Agent Design Studio + Build - From Workflow Map to Working Prototype
In this 90mins hands-on workshop, attendees will be guided through a 3 stage rapid prototyping and training on Agent creation. By the end of the session, all modelled agents will be shared with some being built in real time for review.
- Map: Define where “AI-first” Agentic workflows add the most value: new roles & new goals.
- Model: Where to build first: PSP, Marketing ops automation, content/version control, insight-to-brief.
- Deploy: Guardrails that make it safe at scale: build on escalation control, with the correct humans remaining in the loop.
