About this Event

Hands-on Workshop · Hong Kong

From chatbots to your own team of agents — in one afternoon.

AI has moved past the chatbot era. The story is no longer “prompt better.” It is “build a team of agents that works while you work.”

This workshop is the fastest on-ramp for a senior professional to go from understanding how agents work to leaving the room with their own agent team running.

What you’ll leave with

Every hour ends with something running on your laptop. By the end of the afternoon you leave with a working Chief of Staff agent plus two specialists wired to your real workflow.

• Chief of Staff agent — Daily briefing across calendar, email, waiting replies, and your top three actions. (Replaces a human EA.)
• Career planning agent — Market scan, positioning, opportunity radar, and a next-move memo. (Replaces a career coach.)
• Research and brief agent — Turns any topic into a decision-ready brief with sources. (Replaces a junior analyst.)
• Writing and voice agent — Drafts in your tone for email, LinkedIn, and internal notes. (Replaces a ghostwriter.)

Three hours. Three outcomes.

This is not a lecture series. You don’t watch — you do.

1. Hour 1 — How agents actually work. Agents versus chatbots. Planning, tools, memory, review, and logs. What breaks and how to control it.
2. Hour 2 — Build your Chief of Staff. Live, guided build. Everyone leaves with the same working baseline — a real agent connected to your calendar and inbox.
3. Hour 3 — Add your specialists. Choose two agents from the team above and wire them to your real workflow. You leave with all three running.

Who belongs in the room

Built for senior professionals who want real capability — not a briefing on what’s possible, but three hours to build it. The room stays small on purpose, because building together beats listening together.

• Senior executives who want leverage without growing the team
• Managers tired of doing their own admin
• Consultants & advisors who bill for judgement, not typing
• Specialists who want a second brain that knows their domain, voice, and workflow
