JavaScript the Hard Parts: Build an AI Agent, Do More With AI

Build AI agents for automation with Codesmith CAO & Co-founder.

JavaScript the Hard Parts: Build an AI Agent, Do More With AI

In this hands-on live workshop led by Will Sentence (Codesmith CAO & Co-founder), you’ll learn to build your own AI agent: one that watches for visual cues (like a screenshot of a calendar invite or a coding bug) and takes contextual, meaningful action on your behalf, all without a single click.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to build an AI agent that reacts to screenshots and automates actions (like adding events to your calendar).
  • The fundamental 3-part flow behind every AI agent: trigger, context, and action.
  • How to use AI to write code, run functions and integrate with tools like Google Calendar or your to-do app.

Guided step-by-step by Will, you’ll build a zero-UI AI agent that works right alongside you. Imagine this:

  • Screenshot a coding error → instantly get top fixes, automatically saved
  • Screenshot your notes → watch them turn into tasks in your to-do app

No buttons, no menus. Just smart, seamless automation built by you.

Is this workshop for you?

This workshop is for anyone (from beginners to experienced engineers) who wants to harness AI to automate their digital workflows and build tools that work with them.
