Join Marcus Rosser for a practical, real-world AI workshop exploring how to move beyond basic prompting and build AI automations that perform useful work reliably. Marcus will introduce the concept of an “AI harness”—the tools, context, guardrails, memory, verification, and human approvals that surround an AI system.
Using examples from his current live projects, Marcus will demonstrate how AI can monitor systems, research and rank opportunities, coordinate workflows, prevent duplicate actions, and keep people in control of important decisions. The session will include a live build of an AI-powered New Orleans Opportunity Scout.
Attendees will leave understanding the difference between a prompt, a workflow, an automation, and a dependable AI system—and how to begin building one of their own.
