Agentic AI essentials + Hands-on: $0 AI agent in 15 mins

Everyone is talking about "AI agents." Fewer people can tell you how they are built, let alone ship one.

This meetup fixes both. In ninety minutes, you will go from what is agentic AI to a chatbot answering questions by performing actions on your own website - built live, together, using Fernfly, a tiny model you can practically run for free.

No heavy theory, no giant cloud bills. Bring a laptop and leave with something that works.
Hosted by the team at Fernfly, an antelligent company.

What you will walk away with

• A clear, jargon-free mental model of agentic AI: agents, tools, and why they beat a plain chatbot
• An understanding of when a tiny, task-specific model beats a giant general one
• A working website chatbot you built yourself during the session
• The know-how to keep running it for virtually $0

Agenda

• Welcome
• Introduction to Agentic AI (15 min)
• Task-specific small language models (15 min)
• Meet Fernfly (5 min)
• Build: a website chatbot for $0 (15 min, hands-on)
• Q&A and open floor (20 min)
• Wrap-up

Who is this for

• Developers and indie hackers who want a real, buildable intro to agents
• Founders and product people who want an agentic chatbot on their site without a cloud bill
• Anyone curious about agentic AI who prefers doing over slides

No AI background needed. Basic comfort with HTML and JavaScript helps the build, but you can absolutely watch and copy.

Before you arrive (optional, for the hands-on)

• A laptop
• A free account at fernfly.com
• A webpage you would like to add a chatbot to, or use ours as a template

About the host
Fernfly turns your API into a tiny model that just calls the right function. It is free to run, private by default, and works everywhere, from a browser to a smartwatch. It is built by antelligent (Advanced Nonlinear Technologies), a team building small, specialist AI that businesses can own.

See you Saturday. Bring questions.
