Build Your AI Team

Designing agents that work for you

You have been prompting one question at a time. This session moves you into building.

In this hands-on buildathon, Lauren Irving has you identify a problem you are already working on, map the work it takes to solve it, and design specialized AI agents to run that work, research, analysis, planning, content creation, decision support. Working inside Claude, you move from idea to a functioning system in a single session.

What you will do in the room
  • Map a problem and identify where AI agents can run meaningful parts of the work
  • Design and build specialized agents inside Claude during the session
  • Leave with a reusable framework for designing AI workflows as the tools keep evolving

Advanced beginners and intermediate builders are welcome. You do not need to arrive with a polished plan. You need to arrive ready to start.

You’ll leave ready to

leave with agents you built yourself, a framework for designing more, and the confidence to keep going as the tools evolve.

There is no perfect time to start. You will never be ready. Just start building.
