Give(a)Go is hosting a beginner-friendly agent builder day in Dublin on May 2nd, as part of a global week of building around AI agents.

Agents are the new apps. They don't just respond, they reason, plan, and act. They browse the web, call APIs, write code, send messages, and loop until the job is done. And right now, the tooling to build them has caught up with the ambition.

This is a beginner-friendly event.
​This is a day to go from zero to a working agent. Something that actually does something. Not a demo, not a prototype sitting in a notebook -- a deployed, live, usable thing with a URL you can share.

## ​Build tracks

​You can choose one of the tracks below, or mix tools if your idea needs it.

## ​Track 1: Vibe coding agents with Vercel

​Use Vercel’s tools to go quickly from idea to deployed agent.
​This track is for people who want to build fast, prototype with natural language, create interfaces, connect tools, and ship something live by the end of the day.
​v0 + MCPs
Go from prompt to interface, then connect your app to real tools and data.
​Workflow Development Kit
Build durable agent workflows that can run async tasks, recover from failures, and continue across deploys.
​ChatSDK Agents
Create agents that live inside chat-based workflows like Slack, Discord, GitHub, or your own product.

# ​Track 2: Production-ready agents with Lua

​Use Lua to build agents that connect to real tools, APIs, and business workflows.
​This track is for builders who want to write actual agent logic in TypeScript, define custom tools, connect external services, test locally, and deploy without managing infrastructure.
​Lua is especially useful for agents that need to work across real channels like web, mobile, Slack, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Facebook Messenger, while handling hosting, scaling, orchestration, context, retries, and monitoring behind the scenes.
​Good for builders who want to create agents that feel closer to real products: customer support agents, lead qualification agents, internal operations agents, e-commerce assistants, research agents, workflow automations, and API-connected assistants.

What to Expect on the Day

• ​A full day of focused building with other motivated builders
• ​Short kickoff to set direction and expectations
• ​Focused on hands-on learning, learning by doing
