Every great renovation starts with a blueprint, but the best designs evolve along the way.
In this interactive workshop, we’ll tackle a creative design challenge: building an AI agent for instructional designers from the ground up. Through live audience participation, experimentation, and a few unexpected twists, we’ll explore what transforms a generic chatbot into a genuinely valuable design partner.
Discover practical strategies for designing AI agents that reflect your instructional philosophy, workflows, and goals. Whether you’re just breaking ground or looking to renovate your existing AI practice, you’ll leave with fresh ideas, a repeatable framework, and the confidence to start building your own.
