AI Agents for Small Business: A Hands-On Workshop ​Join us for a special Challenge Point CEO Roundtable mentoring session with Mari Zumbro, Co-founder & COO at Filament, where we will learn to build and deploy our own AI agent in 90 minutes - no advanced tech skills needed. ​Attendance is capped at 10 to keep the session interactive. ​The workshop is for people at different levels of AI experience, especially small and medium-sized business owners who want to understand how AI agents might help with practical work. ​The session will have two parts: first, a guided introduction to agent setup and its building blocks—including tools, virtual-machine and security choices, and setup trade-offs. Then participants will experiment with agents and practical examples, such as business tasks or workflows, and discuss what different agent approaches can and cannot do. Participants are encouraged to try the setup beforehand, but the session will still walk through the key concepts. ​The goal is to help participants understand agent capabilities and leave with a working conversational agent they can continue exploring. ​Participants do not need to arrive with a fully defined business problem, and the workshop is a learning experience. ​The core material is expected to take about an hour, leaving the rest of the session for questions and discussion. ​An optional follow-up may be offered later. ​Challenge Point CEO Roundtable members will attend free. ​Apply to join ​Learn more: redacted ​Application: redacted
