Fri-DIYs: Agents & Frameworks, anyone?
(This programme is exclusively for Lorong AI members only)
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into Fri-DIYs, Lorong AI's immersive workshop series where participants gain hands-on experience implementing AI technologies through guided experimentation in an intimate, collaborative learning environment.
S1E4: Agents & Frameworks, anyone?
By the end of these 2.5h, you won’t just walk away with ideas—you’ll walk away with your own working AI agent: capable of reading, reasoning, and even taking simple actions.
We’ll keep things practical, beginner-friendly, and agent-first:
You’ll use coding assistants like Claude 3.5 or GPT-4o to help when you get stuck.
You’ll learn by doing, not by theory.
You’ll leave knowing how to prototype, extend, and grow an agent in the real world—whether that means automating research, plugging into tools, or showing up on social media.
This isn’t about building the next AGI. It’s about giving you the confidence and toolkit to start shipping smart, helpful agents—today.
Note: Setup and registration starts from 1.30pm, with the workshop beginning at 2pm.
