Building Your First Autonomous AI Agent

Autonomous AI agents are reshaping how tasks are planned, executed, and optimized—moving beyond simple automation to intelligent, goal-driven systems. Building Your First Autonomous AI Agent is a hands-on workshop designed to introduce participants to the core concepts behind autonomous agents and guide them through creating one from scratch.

In this session, participants will learn how AI agents perceive tasks, make decisions, use tools, and take actions with minimal human intervention. Through guided demonstrations and practical exercises, you will explore agent architectures, prompt strategies, memory and planning mechanisms, and how agents interact with APIs, data sources, and external tools to complete real-world objectives.

The workshop bridges foundational AI concepts with practical implementation, helping participants understand how autonomous agents differ from traditional scripts or chatbots. Best practices, limitations, safety considerations, and responsible deployment of AI agents will also be discussed to ensure realistic and ethical usage.

Whether you are a student, developer, data professional, or AI enthusiast, this workshop will provide you with the skills and confidence to build, test, and refine your first autonomous AI agent—preparing you for the next wave of intelligent systems shaping the future of work and technology.
