SUMMARY:Traveltech Meet Up
DESCRIPTION:​Building Agentic AI Workflows – An Interactive Session. \n\n\n\n​Curious about agentic AI and what all the fuss is about? This session is a relaxed\, practical introduction to what agentic AI is\, how it differs from the AI tools many of us already use and how it can help automate and support real\, day-to-day work. No hype\, no heavy theory\, just a clear look at how it works and why it’s useful. \n\n\n\n​Sam Weston\, Siobhan McMorran and Huw Morgan from 80 DAYS will kick things off with a quick overview before diving into a hands-on workshop using n8n\, a powerful workflow automation platform. Together\, we’ll build an agentic workflow step-by-step (what could possibly go wrong!) and show how AI agents can be connected and guided to tackle practical business challenges. \n\n\n\n​By the end of the session\, you’ll have built your first agentic workflow and leave with a better sense of how agentic AI might fit into your own role or organisation. \n\n\n\n​To get the most from the session\, we suggest bringing your laptop and signing up for a free n8n trial a few days beforehand (it’s a 14-day free trial)\, so you can follow along and join in on the day.
