Agents & Dragons: Once Upon Agentic AI

𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 & 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗨𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗜

AWS User Group Timisoara is organizing its next meetup with a hands-on workshop.

Build your own AI Game Master, an agent that runs a role-playing adventure. You will use Strands Agents, the open source SDK from AWS for building AI agents.

No AWS account set-up. No credit card. Every attendee gets a free sandbox environment. Just sign in and start building.

What you will do:
- Create and configure your first agent
- Give it tools: ready-made ones and your own
- Connect it to outside services with MCP (Model Context Protocol)
- Make several agents work together as a party
- Rebuild the same system in a few lines with the Strands harness
- Take your agents towards production on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

What you will take away:
- A clear picture of how agents, tools, MCP and multi-agent systems fit together
- A working multi-agent app you can reuse as a template
- Practical skills for building production-ready agent systems

📅 Thursday, 19 November 2026
🕢 18:30 - 21:30 (about 3 hours)
📍 Haufe Group office, Timisoara, UBC0

🧙 Your guides:

• Claudiu Sonel, AWS Community Builder
• Lucian Patian, AWS User Group Organizer & AWS Community Builder

No deep coding skills needed, just bring curiosity and your laptop. Come to learn, ask questions and meet other builders from the Timisoara community.

🎒 Your inventory before the adventure (important)
To get the most out of the session, please come prepared with the following:
- Create an AWS Builder Center account before the event.
- ⁠Do not launch an AWS Builder Center sandbox in the 7 days leading up to the event. Free access is limited to one workshop per week per account; if you use it beforehand, you won’t be able to use it on the day of the event.
- ⁠Bring a personal laptop (preferred over a corporate one). In previous events, corporate firewalls and TLS certificate injection have blocked calls to Bedrock.
- ⁠Ensure Git is installed.
- ⁠Ensure Python 3.10 or higher is installed.
- ⁠Install uv (the workshop uses it to manage Python and dependencies).
