Build Your First AI Agent in 2 Hours. Free, Every Tuesday.
Tuesday AI Build Night is a free online session, 8 to 10 PM ET, for beginners. No coding needed. You show up with an idea and leave with a working AI agent that has security guardrails from day one.
Starts Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Everyone welcome, no seat cap. Online on Microsoft Teams — the join link is emailed after you sign up (never posted publicly).
What you’ll build
By 10 PM you’ll have one working AI agent you built yourself, plus a one-page blueprint so you can keep improving it. Popular starter builds:
- Inbox or lead helper: sorts incoming emails or form entries and drafts replies for you to approve.
- Research assistant: searches a topic and writes a one-page brief.
- Document Q&A agent: answers questions from your own PDFs or policies, and keeps your data private.
- Notes-to-tasks agent: turns meeting notes into a task list and a follow-up email draft.
Built securely from the first night: every agent we build has three guardrails. It sees only what it needs to. It can change only what you allow. It checks with a human before anything important happens.
Who it’s for
- Beginners who keep hearing about AI agents but haven’t built one yet.
- Small business owners, nonprofit leaders and teams with a repetitive weekly task they want to hand off.
- Anyone who can use a web browser. You won’t write code.
