**🚀 Descubre cómo construir agentes de IA reales con Python, Strands Agents y Ollama** Esta sesión está pensada para quienes ya programan en **Python** y quieren dar el siguiente paso: construir *agentes que no solo respondan texto,* sino que también actúen con herramientas. Usaremos **Strands Agents** como capa open source para definir el agente, sus capacidades y el flujo de razonamiento, y **Ollama** para ejecutar modelos en local, sin atarte a un proveedor concreto. Un recorrido hands-on desde la instalación y configuración hasta un agente funcional que invoque tools y resuelva un caso real. El objetivo es que salgas con un mapa claro de piezas, buenas prácticas y un prototipo que puedas adaptar a tu proyecto, equipo o comunidad. Aprende a: ✨ Definir agentes con herramientas reales ⚡ Ejecutar modelos en local sin depender de un proveedor 🛡️ Construir prototipos listos para producción 🗓️ Fecha: 04 de junio 2025 🕒 Hora: 15:00 (hora local) 📍 Formato: Presencial — Duoc UC Antonio Varas 🎤 Speaker: Hazel Saenz — LATAM Developer Advocate at AWS 👉 ¡No te pierdas esta oportunidad de llevar tus proyectos de IA al siguiente nivel!

(también conocido como #AdminBirras) Aunque esté más frío que datacenter, nos volveremos a reunir para compartir lo que aprendimos en Nerdearla, y relajarnos en torno a bebidas (con y sin alcohol) y algo para picar.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
