Spend two full days building AI agents from scratch with the latest models, human-in-the-loop guardrails, and modern AI design patterns.
Key Takeaways
By participating along with us in the workshop, you'll learn:
- Build a production-grade conversational agent that runs on a simple messages/conversation loop.
- Plug your agent into an OpenAI ChatKit server/UI and render interactive widgets inside chat.
- Model a small Service CRM (customers, leads, jobs, invoices) and implement read/write tools in TypeScript with Zod.
- Add HITL approvals, input validation/guardrails, and interruptable approvals.
- Write evals for your agent with an improvement loop to raise pass rates.
- Deploy your agent to production
Is This Workshop for Me?
Frontend/full-stack devs who want to build tool-using agents in TS, teams exploring agents for ops/CRM workflows, or any engineers curious about ChatKit-style UIs and chat-embedded forms.
Workshop Details
