AI Automation with Agents Workshop
Six-week cohort for applied agent builders
Automate internal processes with AI agents that act like team members, across six weeks of guided practice.
The AI Automation with Agents Workshop is a live, six-week cohort on automating internal processes with reliable AI agents. We tackle real-world scenarios where an agent behaves like a teammate, coordinating steps and escalating to people when necessary.
Across weekly 2-hour sessions you will design, build, and optimize agents using tools like n8n, OpenAI, and best-practice API integrations. That way your team leaves with something running.

“We shipped a working n8n agent that now triages customer requests overnight. The coaching around guardrails and monitoring was priceless.”
Who it's for
- Technically proficient builders who want to automate business processes with AI agents.
- Teams eager to design automations that save hours each week.
Designed for people like you
- Operations managers automating intake, triage, and handoffs.
- Automation engineers connecting AI models to internal APIs.
- Consultants delivering managed automations for clients.
- Founders validating AI-powered back-office assistants.
Learning objectives
- Understand what an AI agent is, how it works, and when to keep humans in the loop.
- Build production-ready n8n automations that orchestrate AI models, APIs, and business rules.
- Optimize agents for cost, latency, and reliability, with monitoring plans to match.
Prerequisites
- Comfort working with APIs, webhooks, or automation tools like Zapier and n8n.
- Active accounts for the AI providers you plan to use (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Azure OpenAI).
- Access to a realistic process or dataset you want to automate.
Results you can use
- A working agent that automates a real scenario from your business.
- Blueprint documenting architecture, prompts, and integration patterns.
- Checklists for human handoffs, escalation, and monitoring.
- Optimization plan to keep usage costs predictable.
Agenda
Week 1: Agent Foundations
- Define what AI agents are, how they orchestrate tools, and where they excel.
- Map a target process, decision points, and human checkpoints.
- Set up secure access to APIs, knowledge bases, and action nodes.
Week 2: Opportunity Mapping & Scoping
- Prioritize candidate workloads based on impact, complexity, and data access.
- Design human-in-the-loop checkpoints that keep people informed.
- Draft success metrics and reliability thresholds for your agent.
Week 3: Build Core Agent Loops
- Assemble n8n workflows that call AI models, parse responses, and trigger APIs.
- Frame prompts and instructions that make the agent trustworthy.
- Prototype audit trails and safe fallbacks before production.
Week 4: Guardrails and Human Handoffs
- Implement routing logic that escalates decisions to the right humans.
- Add validation steps, retries, and structured outputs to reduce errors.
- Document standard operating procedures for exception handling.
Week 5: Observability & Optimization
- Run evaluation loops to monitor accuracy, latency, and cost.
- Tune prompts, memory strategies, and caching for efficiency.
- Instrument alerts and dashboards so issues surface fast.
Week 6: Launch & Scale Roadmap
- Define rollout plans, SLAs, and documentation for your team.
- Plan additional agent use cases and integrations.
- Schedule follow-up coaching and monitoring checkpoints.

How is the workshop delivered, and what if I miss a session?
Cohorts are delivered live using Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or another proven collaboration platform. If you miss a session, contact us and we will share the best available catch-up option.
What will I get by the end (certificate, exercises, and take-home work)?
You will complete hands-on exercises and leave with practical take-home materials. Certificate availability may vary by program or event and is listed in the event details.
Is post-workshop support included?
Yes. Every participant receives at least one hour of free consultation after the training, plus any additional support listed for that specific program or event.
How can I ask questions before enrolling, and what if I can’t make this cohort?
