About this event
You do not need to be an engineer to build something useful with AI anymore. If you have been curious about AI agents but felt blocked by code, complexity, or too much hype, this event is designed to help you get hands-on and leave with a clear understanding of how to create your first agent in a practical, approachable way. This is an in-person session in San Jose for people who want to move from watching AI trends to actually using them. The focus is simple: learn what an AI agent is, see how one gets built without writing code, and understand how to apply that workflow to real tasks you care about. What Is This? This event is a beginner-friendly, community-centered workshop focused on building your first AI agent without coding. Rather than assuming a technical background, it starts from the basics and walks through the logic of how agents work, what makes them different from a standard chatbot, and where they can be genuinely helpful. You can expect a format that is structured but accessible: part explanation, part live walkthrough, and part discussion with other attendees who are exploring similar tools and ideas. The goal is not to overwhelm you with theory. The goal is to make AI agents feel understandable, usable, and worth experimenting with. If you have heard terms like automation, workflows, copilots, or autonomous tools and are not sure how they connect, this event will help connect the dots. It is especially useful for people who want to understand how AI can take on repeatable tasks, follow instructions, and interact with tools in a more goal-oriented way. What to Expect The session will likely begin by grounding everyone in the core concepts. Before building anything, it helps to understand what an agent actually is: a system that can take a goal, make decisions within a defined scope, and complete steps toward an outcome. You will learn the difference between asking AI a one-off question and setting up an agent to perform a process. From there, the event will move into a practical build-oriented walkthrough. Expect to see how a no-code setup can be used to define an agent's role, instructions, and tasks. Instead of abstract examples, the emphasis will be on showing how an agent can be structured so you can imagine adapting the same approach to your own work or projects. You may encounter activities such as: A simple introduction to AI agents and how they work A live demonstration of creating an agent without writing code Examples of useful tasks an agent can help with Discussion of common mistakes, limitations, and how to set realistic expectations Time to ask questions and learn from others in the room Because this is in person, there is also a strong practical benefit: you can ask clarifying questions in real time, compare notes with peers, and get unstuck faster than you often can through videos or online tutorials alone. Why Attend AI is moving quickly, but most people do not need more headlines. They need a clear starting point. This event gives you one. If you have been waiting for a way into AI that feels concrete rather than intimidating, this is a chance to build confidence through direct exposure and guided learning. You will leave with more than a vague sense of what agents are. You should walk away with a working mental model of how no-code AI agents are structured, where they are useful, and what kinds of tasks are realistic for a first project. That clarity can save you hours of confusion and help you decide what to explore next. Attending in person also adds a community layer that matters. San Jose is full of people thinking about technology from different angles, and being in the room with others who are experimenting, learning, and asking smart beginner questions can make the experience more useful and more motivating. A few reasons this event is worth your time: You will get a practical introduction instead of abstract theory You do not need coding experience to participate You will better understand how autonomy and AI workflows fit together You can ask questions before you spend time on the wrong tools or assumptions You will meet other people interested in building with AI, not just talking about it Practical Details This event takes place in person in San Jose, USA on Wednesday, March 25 at 5:00 PM PDT. Being there physically is part of the value: it creates space for live learning, direct interaction, and real conversation with fellow attendees. Because the event is focused on first steps, it is a good fit even if you are arriving with more curiosity than experience. You do not need a software background to benefit. If you have a strong interest in AI, automation, tech tools, or practical new workflows, you should feel comfortable coming as you are. A few useful things to keep in mind: Plan to arrive a little before the start time so you can settle in Come ready to learn through examples, not just listen passively Bring your questions, especially if you have been unsure where to begin with AI agents Expect a friendly environment with a community feel, not a highly technical gatekept room If your goal is to understand AI agents by actually seeing one come together, this event offers a solid place to start. It is practical, approachable, and built for people who want to leave smarter than they arrived.
Who should attend
This is for people who want a practical, low-friction way to start building with AI. - You are curious about **AI agents** but have not started because most resources seem too technical or assume you can code. - You want to understand how **autonomy, workflows, and AI tools** connect in a real build process instead of only reading about them online. - You work in a role where repetitive tasks, research, organization, or simple process automation could benefit from an agent-based approach. - You are a founder, operator, student, creative, or tech-curious professional who wants to experiment with AI in a hands-on way without needing an engineering background. - You learn best by seeing a live example, asking questions in the moment, and talking with other people who are figuring it out too. - You are based in or near **San Jose** and want an in-person community setting where the conversation is practical, grounded, and beginner-friendly. If you have been looking for a first step that feels accessible but still substantive, you will likely feel at home here.
