AI Lab – Create your first AI agent with Mark Ulett
November 3 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Free
Admission: Free, RSVP Required
Where: WIEC, Room:128
What to expect: Explore how AI agents can help with practical tasks and then start building one of your own. Mark Ulett will guide you through choosing a focused task, writing clear instructions, and testing how your agent responds. The session emphasizes creating a manageable first project while understanding where human judgment remains essential.
What we’ll cover:
- How AI agents differ from a regular AI chat.
- Choosing a simple, useful task for your first agent.
- Giving your agent clear instructions and boundaries.
- Connecting tools and information sources when needed.
- Testing results and identifying when human review is essential.
What You’ll Leave With: A first working agent prototype and a practical plan for testing, refining, and improving it after the Lab.
What You’ll Need:
- A laptop and charger for the hands-on exercises.
- An everyday task you’d like help with.
- Sample or non-sensitive information for your experiments.
- An LLM subscription with desktop access.
The AI Lab is a monthly, hands-on workshop where you leave with a practical AI skill you can put to work the same week.
