AI Agent 101 Workshop
Hands-On Workshop
Build and test an AI agent with us. Leave with one working agent and the framework to build the next one yourself.
AI agents are everywhere. But hearing about them and knowing how to build one are two very different things.
On September 16, WOMEN x AI will take you step by step from understanding agentic AI, to recognizing where agents are useful, to building and testing one yourself.
You’ll learn:
🤖 What makes an AI agent different from a prompt or chatbot
🧭 How to recognize when a task would benefit from an agent
🎯 How to give an agent a clear goal, context and the right tools
🛠️ How to build, test, troubleshoot and improve an agent
🧠 Where human judgment still matters
We’ll move between practical instruction, live building and small-group support so you can ask questions and work through challenges as you build.
No coding, technical background or perfect idea required.
Already experimenting with agents? You’ll strengthen how you scope, test and improve what you build.
You’ll leave with:
✨ An AI agent you built and tested
✨ A practical framework for identifying future agent opportunities
✨ Step-by-step instructions to help you build your next one
✨ Greater confidence turning a repetitive task into a useful AI workflow

AI Career Lab: Your Next Move
In Person Networking
Use AI. Activate your network. Create your next opportunity.
Your next career opportunity may start with a better question, a stronger story, or the right connection.
Join WOMEN x AI for an interactive evening focused on using AI and community to navigate what’s next in your career. We’ll bring together women leaders, founders, recruiters, hiring managers, and members of the WxAI community for practical conversations, hands-on learning, and meaningful connections.
You’ll learn how to use AI to strengthen your job or board search, research roles and companies, sharpen your positioning, improve your LinkedIn presence, prepare for interviews, make stronger asks, and approach referrals more effectively.
We’ll also explore opportunities beyond the traditional job search, from consulting and advisory work to pivots, introductions, and connections that can create momentum.
Whether you’re actively searching, quietly exploring, considering a pivot, or simply thinking about what’s next, come ready to learn, connect, and help another woman move forward.

How is AI changing the rules of startup fundraising? Join WOMEN x AI for an exclusive virtual fireside with Lolita Taub, GP at Ganas Ventures and author of What Actually Matters.
Focusing on Chapter 5 of her book, Lolita will break down why AI cuts both ways for underrepresented founders, how automated pattern-matching subtly creeps into early-stage deal screening, and actionable ways to counter it.
We’ll even pressure-test a couple of her book's live AI prompts in real time. Following a 20-minute discussion and a 10-minute audience Q&A, we’ll extend the session into interactive small-group breakouts and a community debrief to discuss AI’s evolving role in venture.
