Online event

Join the Codesmith community in this **pair programming workshop.** Pair programming is a core part of the Codesmith learning experience, and this workshop is a great opportunity to practice this skill. Coders of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to join! **Make sure to also RSVP for this event on our [website](https://www.become-irreplaceable.dev/free-resources#Events) to receive the Zoom link!**

​**Here’s what to expect:**

* We’ll kick off with a quick intro to pair programming and tips on how to enhance your technical communication.
* Then, you’ll be paired up with someone of a similar coding level to work on a challenge—one person will be the **driver,** writing the code, while the other will be the **navigator,** guiding the logic.
* Plus, a mentor will be on hand to help you work through any blocks that come up.
* Please note that you’ll need a **working microphone** in order to participate, and **make sure to join on time** as you’ll be paired with a partner at the beginning of the workshop.

If this is your first time trying pair programming, we recommend reviewing Codesmith’s guide on [How to Technically Communicate](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I63PdhOVyf6uzYGT140T-vH6W4R9sX-P/view) to get the most out of the session. Take advantage of this session to practice key programming skills, build confidence, and connect with fellow learners!

Pair Programming Workshop

In this hands-on live workshop led by **Will Sentence (Codesmith CAO & Co-founder)**, you’ll learn to build your own AI agent: one that watches for visual cues (like a screenshot of a calendar invite or a coding bug) and takes contextual, meaningful action on your behalf, all without a single click. **Make sure to also RSVP for this event on our [website](https://www.become-irreplaceable.dev/free-resources#Events) to receive the Zoom link!**
‍
**What you’ll learn:**

* How to build an AI agent that reacts to screenshots and automates actions (like adding events to your calendar).
* The fundamental 3-part flow behind every AI agent: trigger, context, and action.
* How to use AI to write code, run functions and integrate with tools like Google Calendar or your to-do app.

Guided step-by-step by Will, you’ll build a zero-UI AI agent that works right alongside you. Imagine this:

* Screenshot a coding error → instantly get top fixes, automatically saved
* Screenshot your notes → watch them turn into tasks in your to-do app

No buttons, no menus. Just smart, seamless automation built by you.
‍
**Is this workshop for you?**
This workshop is for anyone (from beginners to experienced engineers) who wants to harness AI to automate their digital workflows and build tools that work with them.

**What else should you know?**
