Your First Working AI Agent (Research & Briefing Agent)

A live 60-minute training where you build a working AI agent from scratch, a research and briefing agent that delivers a useful brief on any topic, on demand. Agents are the most hyped word in AI right now, and most people still have no idea what one actually is or how to get one working for them. Here is the honest version: an agent is just AI that can take a goal, do multiple steps on its own, and hand you a finished result. And you can build one, today, without writing a line of code. In this live training, Arjita Sethi, founder of Build with AI University, builds a research and briefing agent live with you: an agent that goes out, gathers information on any topic you give it, and returns a clean, useful brief. This is the session where agents stop being a buzzword and become something you own. What you will learn: 1. What an agent actually is: the plain-language definition, minus the hype, plus where agents genuinely beat regular AI chat 2. The anatomy of a useful agent: goal, instructions, tools, and output format, and how each piece shapes what you get back 3. The build, live: setting up your research and briefing agent step by step, together, in the session 4. Prompt architecture for agents: how to write instructions the agent can follow reliably, every time 5. Where agents fail: the tasks you should never fully delegate, and how to keep your judgment in the loop What you will walk away with: * A working research and briefing agent you built yourself, delivering real briefs before the session ends * A reusable agent template you can adapt for other jobs * A ranked list of the next agents worth building for your specific work Who this is for: Professionals, founders, and creators who keep hearing about agents and want to stop nodding along and start owning one. No technical background required. If you can write an email, you can build this agent. Your host: Arjita Sethi is the founder of Build with AI University, creator of the vibe-coded wellness platform Find Shaanti, a Lecturer of Entrepreneurship at San Francisco State University, Advisory Board member at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, and a Claude Community Ambassador for San Francisco for the non-technical and moms vertical. Her three brands run on agentic pipelines built with the exact approach taught in this session.
