Build Your Own AI Career Co-pilot: Hands-On Workshop

You do not need to know how to code. You just need to show up.

This workshop offers a practical introduction to Agentic AI, focusing on the tooling and methodology required to build and deploy AI agents and automated workflows. Utilizing accessible platforms, participants will develop a functional AI tool by the end of the session.

Workshop Description:

If you have ever stared at a job description wondering whether you are the right fit, or sat down to update your CV and had no idea where to start, this workshop is for you. In 90 minutes, you will build a real AI-powered tool that does the hard thinking with you, analysing your profile against a target role, surfacing insights you would not have seen on your own, and giving you the kind of confidence that makes you actually send in the application.

You will build it yourself, from scratch, using Lovable and n8n, two beginner-friendly platforms that require no coding experience. By the end of the session you will have a live application at your own URL, ready to use the moment you leave the room.

Who this is for:

Anyone navigating a career transition, pivot, or job search who wants to understand what agentic AI can actually do and leave with something real to show for it.

Workshop Prerequisites:

• Technical Knowledge: Attendees must have a foundational understanding of Python to follow the technical demonstrations and exercises.
• Equipment: A laptop is required for the workshop.
