Build Your First AI Agent: A Hands-On Workshop Startup Grind Frisco | April 9, 2026 | 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM Origin, Frisco EDC Innovation Hub | Frisco, TX

Everyone's talking about AI agents. Most people have no idea what they actually are or how to build one.

This isn't a panel. It's not a fireside chat. It's a classroom-style workshop with 30 seats, and you're going to get your hands dirty.

Led by Ramesh Nuti, Director of Startup Grind Frisco, Founder/CEO of ActionEDI, and creator of PlayWithPrompts.com and 20+ AI agents at ailab.svyam.co. Ramesh has built 75+ AI projects, is a Top 5% builder on Replit, and has spent the last two years teaching founders how to build with AI at Startup Grind. He's also an angel investor through Svyam Ventures with 25+ investments including Scale AI and Replit.

Part 1: What AI Agents Actually Are (and Aren't)

We'll cut through the hype and break down how AI agents work in plain language. You'll learn the four core design patterns behind every agent system being built right now, when to use each one, and how to think about agents as a founder or operator. No jargon. No slides full of buzzwords. Just the mental models you need to actually understand what's happening in this space.

Part 2: Live Build + Demo

Then we go hands-on. You'll watch a real AI agent get built from scratch, step by step, using no-code tools. We'll take a practical business use case and wire up an agent that connects to real systems like calendars, email, and data sources. You'll see exactly how it works under the hood so you can replicate it on your own.

What you'll walk away with:

A clear understanding of what AI agents are and how they work. A real demo you can reference to build your own. The confidence to start experimenting with agent workflows in your business.

Who this is for:

Founders, operators, and business owners who are done reading about AI agents and ready to see one get built. No coding experience needed. Bring your laptop.

30 seats ONLY. Classroom-style. That's it.

This is a small-group workshop, not a 200-person meetup. Every seat matters.

Register before they are gone!
