Description
In this session, participants will gain a practical understanding of what AI agents actually are, how they differ from the chatbots and tools covered in earlier workshops, and what it means that they can now act “autonomously”.
Participants will also explore real examples of agents being deployed by small businesses, and begin to map where agentic AI could fit into their own operations. The session will close with a look at what agents can and cannot do independently.
This workshop is part of a 3-part free virtual workshop series designed specifically for women entrepreneurs. RSVP and learn with us this September!
This program is funded by the Government of Canada’s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy.
Prerequisites:
