Future Tools, Real Results: AI Filmmaking & Agentic Browsing Workshop

​Workshop 1

​10:00 AM - 1:00 PM

​This workshop will provide a hands-on guide to turning your inspiration into a film using AI drawing and AI video. Free trials of tools like Jimeng AI and Vidu will be available onsite, allowing you to quickly get started even with zero prior experience. You can create a personal short film individually or in a team, and receive feedback and optimisation suggestions from the instructor. To ensure effective hands-on experience, it's recommended to bring your own laptop (a limited number of shared devices will also be available). The tools will be distributed on-site, and quantities are limited, so please come first-come, first-served. Come bring your ideas to life and take home your first AI short film.

​Workshop 2

​2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

​Curious how a “smart web helper” could save you time online? This workshop introduces agentic browsing—simple tools that can read pages, click buttons, fill forms, and double-check sources while you stay in control. We’ll explain in plain English what these helpers can (and shouldn’t) do, why they matter beyond ordinary search, and how to use them safely and ethically. At the workshop, you will have the opportunity to be among the first to test Fellou. We’ll use Fellou as an example to show the basics and what’s new in its Community Edition. Bring a real task you’d like to streamline (finding reliable info, collecting contacts, navigating sign-ups, etc.); we’ll workshop it together and share easy checklists for accuracy and privacy. No coding required—just your curiosity. You’ll leave with a practical understanding and, if you’d like, a tiny helper you can try on your own.
