What we cover

What an agent actually is

Beyond a single prompt: how an agent works through several steps on its own, searching, checking, comparing, and comes back with a structured result.

Where agents genuinely help charities

Researching new funding opportunities, tracking deadlines and renewals, pre-filling forms past work, and chasing supporting evidence from your own files.

Building your first agent

Hands-on, step by step, building a simple working agent for a real task from participants' own roles, using your chatbot of choice.

Keeping a human in the loop

Where automation should stop: an agent shortlists and drafts, a person decides and approves. Practical guardrails for charity data and decisions.

What's next

A look at where agentic AI is heading, and how to keep building safely once the session ends.

Your team has moved past basic prompting. Nobody's shown them what comes next

Staff are repeating the same research and admin tasks every single week
There's real curiosity about "AI agents" but no clear, safe starting point
Nobody in the organisation has hands-on experience building one
Leadership is wary of automation without understanding what it actually does
The gap between " using ChatGPT" and "building something useful" feels too big to cross alone

This session closes that gap directly, with participants leaving having built and tested a working agent for a real task, not just talked about the idea of one.
