Newish to Claude Code or coding agents?
The future isn't only a private chat with your own digital EA, it gets a lot more interesting once you're comfortable letting your cofounder talk to it. When you can build a product ops bot your whole team uses, a shared accountant for your ice cream pop-up, a chief of staff people can check in with while you're on a plane or buried in meetings.
What we'll do (in about 3 hours)
We'll build an agent and start working with it.
- What an agent actually is, and when a plain workflow is enough (the basics)
- How one's put together. We'll look at a working agent and the pieces that make it one: it remembers, it picks up skills, it gets better when you correct it. You'll understand what an agent is before you build yours.
- Build yours. Everyone builds a starter agent:
- AI Research Scout. Give it a handful of sources and it sends you a short weekly brief on what's worth your attention. What makes it an agent: when you tell it "too broad," "watch this newsletter," or "only things I can act on this week," it remembers and changes what it brings you next time. Over a few weeks it tunes to your taste.
- Personal EA. Triages your inbox and preps your day, drafting replies in your voice. What makes it an agent: it learns who you actually reply to, what you always decline, your rules ("nothing before 10").
- Or your own use case. By this point you'll understand agents well enough to try something of your own.
- Set it up and work with it, 1:1. Give it a real task, correct it, watch it get better.
- Intro to Multiplayer. A short break to talk through what changes when an agent goes into a shared space: how it should communicate, who with, and how to keep your private data safe.
- Agent party! Once everyone has one, we drop them into a shared loop and let them chat with each other.
What you'll leave with
- A working agent, the setup to keep using it, and a feel for how it gets better as you work with it.
- A small group of fellow builders whose humans (and agents) you can keep talking to.
- A sense of how to make your agent social and work with others safely.
- A few recommended skills from the Filament team to get you started.
Who this is for
This is for operators, program managers, and founders. The people who keep things running and are curious about agents but haven't had a place to start.
You don't need to be an engineer, but you should have some experience poking around in a terminal or desktop claude code/codex.
