This workshop series is for intermediate and advanced AI operators, team leaders, and decision-makers who want to increase their proficiency with the next layer of AI capability. A variety of AI agentic toolsets will be reviewed, including Claude Cowork, Copilot Agents, OpenAI's ChatGPT, OpenClaw, and Hermes. We will discuss the different types of memory, how to manage and optimise them for performance, and what skills will make you stand out as a leader of an AI agent swarm.
