Overview
Elevate your backend team's AI capabilities with our intensive AI Agent Development Workshop. Led by Dan Austin, CTO of AiTuning, this hands-on program is designed to equip mid to senior-level backend developers with the skills to build production-ready AI agents.
Unlike theoretical courses, our workshop provides real-world experience in constructing AI agents, backed by personalised tutoring from Dan who has successfully deployed multiple AI agents for clients.
Participants will dive deep into the fundamentals of AI agent architecture, learning through practical, hands-on exercises that mirror real-world scenarios.
By the end of the workshop, your developers will have the knowledge and confidence to tackle AI agent projects. With flexible delivery options - in person, or remote - and two weeks of post-workshop support, we ensure that the learning continues long after the session ends.
Throughout the day, each participant will construct a fully functional, custom AI agent while learning key concepts. Each module combines theory with immediate practical application:
Architecting your AI agent
Learn the pros and cons of various AI Agent architectures and LLM options. Apply this knowledge to select the optimal foundation for the AI Agent project, considering factors like performance, cost, and scalability.
Here we show how to make informed decisions early on, setting your AI Agent projects up for success and avoiding costly pivots down the line.
Connecting your agent to the world
Explore strategies for safe and effective integration of external tools and APIs. Implement these connections in your agent, enabling it to interact with databases, web services, and other resources.
This dramatically expand your AI Agent's capabilities, transforming it from a simple chatbot into a powerful tool that can drive real-world actions and provide tangible value to users.
Imbue AI Agents with transparent & reliable reasoning capabilities
Master advanced techniques for logic implementation in AI, including chain-of-thought and various other methods. Apply these to create a robust decision-making framework for your agent.
This enhances your AI Agent's problem-solving capabilities, enabling it to handle complex tasks with transparency and accuracy that clients and stakeholders can trust.
Refining AI Agents
Dive into the nuances of model fine-tuning, learning when and how to adapt pre-trained models. Apply these techniques to specialize your agent for your chosen domain or task.
Significantly improve your AI's performance on specific tasks, delivering more accurate and relevant results that can set your services apart in the market.
Fortifying against potential exploits
Understand common AI exploitation techniques and cutting-edge prevention strategies. Apply this knowledge to implement robust security measures in your agent.
Protect your AI investments and maintain user trust by creating systems that are resilient against misuse, crucial for maintaining integrity in client-facing applications.
Preparing for deployment
Master critical aspects of AI system deployment, including monitoring, versioning, and scalable architecture. Implement these production-ready features in your agent project.
Ensure your AI solutions are robust, maintainable, and scalable, meeting the high standards required for enterprise-level deployments and mission-critical applications.
