Building Your First AI Agent

NEW DATE: FEBRUARY 4TH

In our “Building Your First AI Agent” workshop, you’ll get a practical, low-code and hands-on introduction to what AI agents are, how they differ from chatbots and simple automation, and where they can create real value in modern organizations.

Spears has been given 50 free tickets (a $10 value) for this exclusive event—available to SMU students while supplies last.

Together we’ll design an agent around a realistic workflow, clarify the key building blocks (goal, tools, data, guardrails, and evaluation), and walk through how to prototype and test it responsibly—without needing a deep technical background.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a clear mental model for AI agents and a repeatable process you can apply to customer support, operations, analytics, and other high-impact business scenarios.
