**Build Your First AI Agent with TypeScript**

───

No slides. No theory. Just code.

This is the first session of Zürich Agent Lab — a monthly hands-on workshop community for engineers building AI agents in Zürich.

We start on June 2nd with the fundamentals: building a real AI agent from scratch using TypeScript and the Vercel AI SDK.

───

**Format**

**5:30pm — Doors open and get comfortable (30 min)**

**6:00pm — Hacking (2 hours)**
You write code. We build together. Step by step, you'll implement a working AI agent with tool calling, structured outputs, and a controlled agent loop. Bring your laptop and a free OpenAI API key.

**8:00pm — Demos + Knowledge Sharing (30 min)**
Show what you built. Share what you learned. Ask what you couldn't figure out. This is where the room gets interesting.

**8:30pm — Networking**
Stay as long as you want.

───

**What you'll build**

• An agent that calls real tools to answer questions it couldn't answer alone
• Structured outputs that make your agent's responses predictable and usable
• A controlled agent loop with proper step limits

───

**What you need**

• A laptop with Node.js installed
• A free OpenAI API key (usage will be minimal)
• Comfortable with TypeScript basics

**Food and Drinks**
• Pizza will be delivered by 6:30 PM
• Drinks will be unlimited

───

**25 seats only.** RSVP secures your spot — no walk-ins.

This event is CHF 75. If you want year-round access to all sessions, founding memberships are open at CHF 900/year for the first 50 members.
