From AI Curiosity to AI Agent - The 3-Minute Coffee Break Pathway for Business Professionals

AI agents are rapidly becoming part of the modern workplace, yet many business professionals still feel unsure about where they fit into the conversation. The technical barriers to building simple AI agents are rapidly shrinking, raising an important question: could you build one yourself?

Join this interactive, fun, and practical session to explore what AI agents are, why they matter, and the capabilities professionals need to thrive in an AI-enabled future.

We'll also introduce Future Proof Professional™, a new neuro-inclusive learning pathway designed for busy professionals who want to build AI confidence through practical, accessible 3-minute learning experiences. Discover how you can move from AI curiosity to AI confidence, and ultimately towards creating your first AI agent, one coffee break at a time.
