About this event
AI agents are moving from buzzword to practical tool, and this class is built to help you get your footing quickly. Whether you want to understand how autonomous systems work, explore real-world use cases, or meet other people actively learning in this space, this hybrid session gives you a clear place to start. About the Event This is a hybrid AI Agent Starter Class with both an in-person meetup and a virtual option, designed so you can participate in the format that works best for you. The evening starts with in-person arrival at 6:00 PM in Carrollton, followed by the virtual event at 6:30 PM on Zoom. The focus is on helping attendees build a practical foundation in AI agents. Rather than assuming deep prior experience, the event is positioned as a starter class, which makes it a strong fit for people who are curious, early in their learning, or looking for a more grounded introduction to autonomy and agent-based systems. Because this is also a community-oriented meetup, the event is not just about content. It is also a chance to connect with other builders, professionals, and learners interested in AI, autonomy, and the fast-changing tools surrounding agent workflows. What to Expect Expect a format that combines learning and connection. If you attend in person, you will have time to arrive, get settled, and meet others before the virtual portion begins. That makes the event especially useful if you value face-to-face conversation but still want the flexibility of a broader hybrid session. You can expect the class to center on starter-level understanding of AI agents, with discussion likely focused on core concepts, how these systems are used, and what it takes to begin exploring them in practice. The event title suggests a beginner-friendly orientation, so this is a good environment for asking questions and building confidence. A likely flow for the evening includes: 6:00 PM CST: In-person arrival and informal networking at the Carrollton venue 6:30 PM CST: Virtual session begins on Zoom Class-style learning: Introductory material related to AI agents and autonomy Community interaction: Opportunities to connect with others interested in the space Because the event carries meetup and networking tags, you should also expect conversation beyond the formal class content. That can be especially valuable if you are trying to find collaborators, compare notes with peers, or simply hear how others are approaching AI tools. Why Attend If you have been seeing more discussion around AI agents and want a more practical starting point, this event offers a focused way to begin. It lowers the barrier to entry by giving you a structured session instead of leaving you to sort through fragmented online content on your own. You will leave with a clearer sense of what AI agents are, why autonomy is becoming such an important theme, and how to continue learning after the session. Even if you are still deciding how relevant agents are to your work or projects, a starter class can help you evaluate the landscape more intelligently. There is also real value in the hybrid community format. Attending lets you do more than passively consume information. You can meet people nearby, join the Zoom conversation from wherever you are, and become part of a network of others paying attention to the same shift in technology. This event is especially useful if you want: A more approachable entry point into AI agents Exposure to a local and virtual community around AI and autonomy A reason to move from curiosity into active learning A setting where networking and education happen in the same evening Practical Details Date and time: Tuesday, February 17 at 6:00 PM CST. If you are attending in person, plan to arrive at 6:00 PM. The virtual event begins at 6:30 PM. In-person location: Fairway Mortgage Corporation, 4201 Marsh Ln, Carrollton, TX 75007.

Either way, this event is designed to help you start understanding AI agents in a more connected, practical, and accessible way.
