The idea

Don't just learn about AI.
Learn how to use it.

AI is already changing how people work, study, research, communicate and create. This workshop focuses on what matters most: getting hands-on and learning how AI can become a practical part of your everyday routine.

“You won't just learn what AI can do.
You'll actually start using it.”

By the end of the session

You'll understand the fundamentals of AI, know how to communicate with it more effectively, and be guided through setting up an AI agent that helps you accomplish real tasks.

  • ✓Understand AI without the jargon
  • ✓Write better prompts
  • ✓Use AI for real-world tasks
  • ✓Know AI assistants from AI agents
  • ✓Install and configure Hermes Agent
  • ✓Give your agent practical tasks

Teaching technology is nothing new to me.

Make complex things understandable, then get you doing it yourself.
Kaio Andrade
Instructor · Gold Coast, QLD

I'm Kaio. Teaching has been a major part of my life, both through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Information Technology. I studied IT Systems Development in Brazil and have a background in Database Development.

My approach is simple: make complex things understandable, then get you doing it yourself. This workshop brings together teaching and technology in a practical, beginner-friendly format.
