AI Engineer Workshop：Build production-grade AI agents

Spend a day building an AI agent from scratch and learning what it takes to run it reliably in a real business environment.
Learn the foundations of AI engineering and prepare for Anthropic certification.
With today’s models and developer tools, building an AI agent is becoming easier. You can get it to answer questions, call tools, and deliver a working demo.
But real business workflows bring more challenges. Is the system architecture appropriate? How do you troubleshoot failed tool calls? How do you know whether the agent has completed a task well? And once it’s live, how do you monitor its performance and manage its behaviour?
Running agents successfully in production takes practical engineering experience and sound judgement.
Join Roy for a hands-on AI Engineer Workshop combining practical exercises with real enterprise case studies. You’ll learn how to design and develop agents with production requirements in mind, connecting system design, tool integration, evaluations, and operational management.
Along the way, you’ll explore the key decisions involved in taking an agent from a prototype to a real business application.

## 🛠️ What will you learn?

The workshop covers four core topics:

• AI System Design
  Understand how an agent’s components and task workflows fit together. Learn how to organise models, tools, and their interactions, and explore how business requirements shape architecture and technology choices.
• MCP | Tool Integration
  Learn the role of Model Context Protocol in agent development. Explore how agents connect to external tools and capabilities, turning model outputs into concrete actions.
• Evaluations | Agent Quality and Performance
  Learn how to assess task completion and whether results meet your requirements. Use testing and evaluations to identify problems and guide improvements.
• AI Observability & Governance
  Understand how to trace an agent’s execution, investigate failures, and define permissions and behavioural boundaries so the system is easier to monitor, manage, and maintain.

Here’s how you’ll put it into practice: work through concrete tasks, build and test your agent, and refine your approach based on the results. Roy will also share real enterprise examples of how these engineering challenges are identified and addressed.

## 🎯 What will you gain?

The workshop connects technical practice, certification preparation, and career development through three areas:

• Hands-on experience building an agent from scratch
  Learn design and development approaches for production environments. Understand how architecture, tool integration, evaluations, and operational management work together, giving you a foundation for further project work.
• Anthropic Certification Walkthrough
  Explore Anthropic certification pathways and preparation priorities, connecting the workshop topics with your next steps in certification study.
• AI Engineer Interview Guide
  Understand AI Engineer interview structures and preparation priorities. Learn how to organise and communicate your project experience, technical thinking, and design decisions.

You’ll leave with practical experience across key areas of AI engineering and a clearer understanding of what to study and practise next.

## 👥 Who is this workshop for?

• Developers experimenting with agents who want to understand the engineering requirements of production environments.
• Software developers interested in AI system design and agent development.
• People studying AI engineering who want practical experience with tool integration, evaluations, and operational management.
• Professionals exploring AI for enterprise workflows who want to understand the journey from prototype to business application.
• Anyone preparing for Anthropic certifications or exploring AI Engineer interview preparation.
