Want to discover why Agentic AI is the hottest trend in AI today?

📢 MLDA Learnova Workshop 7: Intro to Agentic AI

Agentic AI is basically the upgrade from “AI that chats” to “AI that gets stuff done.” In this 2-hour, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how AI agents can plan steps, use tools, and take actions (safely) to complete real tasks

No coding, no tech overload. We’ll use simple visuals + real examples to break down:

- how agents think (goal → plan → act → check),
- how they use tools (docs, search, emails, spreadsheets),
- and how to keep them safe (approval steps, rules, and privacy basics).
