### Get an Agent Running in 90 Minutes

May 6, 10:20 a.m. - 11:50 a.m.

I've sat through enough AI conference sessions where someone demos an agent doing something impressive and then says "and you can do this too!" — and everyone goes back to their hotel room and does nothing. This workshop is designed to fix that.

In 90 minutes, we're going to get you actually running an AI agent. Not planning one. Not white-boarding one. Running one. You'll leave with two tools in your toolkit that take completely different approaches to autonomous AI, and you'll have hands-on time with both.

We'll dig into Manus, one of the most capable multimodal agent platforms available right now. It handles text, images, and complex research tasks in a way that honestly still surprises me. It's not cheap — the usage-based pricing adds up fast if you're not paying attention — but for the right use cases, it earns its keep. We'll run real tasks and talk through where the cost is justified and where it's going to burn a hole in your pocket.

Then we'll flip to Claude Cowork, which takes a different approach entirely. It doesn't have Manus's native image capabilities, but if you're doing anything that involves building or managing software — local file access, coding projects, automating workflows on your own machine — Cowork is genuinely impressive. We'll build something real with it during the session.

The point isn't to declare a winner. These tools solve different problems. The point is that by the end of this workshop, you'll know which one to reach for and you'll have actually used it, not just watched someone else use it.
