Following the success of our recent workshop on building AI Agents, we’re taking things up a notch. If you’re ready to move beyond chatbots and virtual assistants into the realm of intelligent, self-driven systems, this is your next big leap.

Why This Workshop Matters

AI is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a powerful tool that’s leveling the playing field for startups and small businesses across Africa. Autonomous AI Agents represent the cutting edge: systems that can plan, execute, learn, and improve over time without constant human input.

We’re now entering an era where founders can build AI-powered teammates to assist with deep work—from research and execution to decision-making and operations. You no longer need a big team or a tech department to get ahead—just the right tools and guidance.

Think of them as digital co-founders—handling research, automating workflows, driving operations, and solving problems in real time.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to build an Autonomous AI Agent that can:

• ✅ Plan and prioritize tasks based on business goals
• ✅ Conduct independent web research and summarise findings
• ✅ Trigger actions across tools (send emails, update CRMs, generate reports, etc.)
• ✅ Adapt and optimize performance through feedback loops
• ✅ Operate with minimal supervision—saving you time and money

Who This Workshop Is For

• Startup founders looking to scale smarter, not harder
• Small business owners ready to automate beyond the basics
• Innovators and tech-curious professionals who want to lead the AI wave in Africa
• Builders who joined our first workshop and want to go deeper

Whether you’re running lean or just starting up, the ability to embed intelligent, autonomous systems into your business can give you the same operational firepower as larger competitors—without breaking the bank.

Why It’s a Game-Changer for Africa

• In regions where resources are stretched and talent is scarce, autonomous AI offers a transformative edge.
• Faster go-to-market: Run market research, build prototypes, and validate ideas overnight.
• Operational efficiency: Let your AI Agent handle routine processes while you focus on strategy.
• Cost savings: Replace repetitive, manual work with intelligent automation.
• Scalability: Handle growing demand without growing overhead.

Across the continent, startups are turning to AI to tackle challenges in healthcare, agriculture, fintech, education, and logistics. The best part? You don’t need to be a developer to join the movement—you just need to be ready to build.

From e-commerce to education, logistics to legal—AI Agents are becoming the invisible workforce powering Africa’s next generation of startups.
