- AI Agents: Ditch the Busywork ⬥ NEW!
-
Fee: $59.00
Dates: 1/13/2027 - 3/3/2027
Times: 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Days: W
Sessions: 8
Location: WW00D
Room: MAIN BLDG (D) Classroom 121
Instructor: Brian Duvall
Seats Available: 30 out of 30
What's one task you did this week that you'd happily never do again? In this class, you'll build a small AI helper to handle such tasks – one step at a time, trained on your own work. Each week, we will run an experiment: you try something on your own task, see the result, and improve it. By the end, you'll have either a working automaton or the well-reasoned decision that such a task isn't worth automating. (Both count as a good result!) You'll practice safely with non-confidential tasks, and no coding experience or AI expertise is needed – so if you've heard about AI agents and wondered where to begin, this is a calm, practical place to start. You'll leave knowing what an AI agent can and can't do, how to keep the person in charge, and how to tell whether the agent is worth keeping.
This is a Hyflex class, meaning that each class meeting you may choose to attend either in person or online via Zoom. The Zoom Meeting ID and link will be included in your registration confirmation email.
Required Materials: a laptop. Students will also need a paid subscription to one of their favorite AI agent platforms or tools (such as Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok Bot, etc.).
