Author an Agent: Designing AI Through Play

Add to Calendar Apr 16, 2025 Apr 16, 2025 America/Los_Angeles Author an Agent: Designing AI Through Play This hands-on workshop introduces the fundamentals of AI system design through collaborative role play. Using a card game that simulates how AI agents work, participants take on roles like architect, retriever, and model to design and operate a functional AI system in response to a shared goal. Through iterative rounds of testing and reflection, players adjust system instructions, model behavior, and knowledge sources—gaining practical insight into concepts like prompt design, RAG pipelines, and tool integration. The experience is both playful and intentional, inviting participants to explore how intelligent behavior is authored, constrained, and evaluated. No technical experience required—just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to engage. Workshop 3 | Gateway Pavilion - Pier 2 | 2 Marina Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94123
