Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our AI agent workshop
What is an AI agent?
An AI agent is an autonomous software program that uses artificial intelligence to perform specific tasks without constant human supervision. Unlike simple chatbots or scripts, AI agents can understand context, make decisions, and take actions to complete complex workflows. For example, an AI customer support agent can read customer emails, understand the inquiry, search for relevant information, and draft appropriate responses. At our Chicago AI agent workshop, you'll learn to build these practical tools that automate repetitive business tasks like lead qualification, content creation, data analysis, and customer service. No coding experience is required - we provide templates and hands-on guidance to help you create working AI agents that save 12+ hours per week.
Do I need coding experience to attend the AI workshop?
Absolutely not. Our Chicago AI agent workshop is specifically designed for complete beginners with zero coding background. We've trained over 500+ professionals, and 85% of our students had no prior programming experience before attending. During the workshop, we walk you through every line of code, explain what it does in plain English, and provide pre-built templates that you can customize for your needs. Our expert instructors are available throughout the day to help when you get stuck. You'll spend 90% of the workshop actually building AI agents hands-on, not watching theoretical lectures. By the end of the day, you'll have 3-6 working AI agents deployed and ready to use, regardless of your technical background.
What will I learn at the AI agent workshop in Chicago?
At our full-day Chicago AI workshop, you'll learn practical skills to build and deploy working AI agents. The curriculum includes: understanding AI agent fundamentals (how they work, when to use them), hands-on building of 6 different AI agent types (customer support bot, lead qualification agent, blog writing assistant, data analyzer, email drafter, and market research bot), ChatGPT training and prompt engineering techniques, AI automation strategies for business workflows, and how to customize agents for your specific needs. You'll also learn to deploy these agents so they're ready to use Monday morning. The workshop includes all code templates, 90 days of post-workshop support, and a private community for continued learning. Every student leaves with working AI tools that save an average of 12+ hours per week.
How much does the AI workshop cost?
The workshop is completely FREE for individual attendees. There are no hidden fees, no upsells, and no catch. The workshop is made possible through sponsorships from local Chicago businesses who believe in making AI education accessible to everyone. Corporate sponsorship packages are available for companies who want to train their entire team: Starter Package ($2,000 for 3 seats), Growth Package ($5,000 for 8 seats, most popular), and Premium Package ($10,000 for 15 seats). Corporate packages include reserved seating, custom agent development for your business, extended support (up to 6 months), and priority access to future workshops. Individual free tickets have a value of over $1,500 when you include the full-day training, catered lunch, code templates, and 90-day support. Contact us for more information about corporate packages.
