Building agentic automation shouldn't take you more time than the thing your already trying to automate...

This 45-minute lab will walk through the full process of building custom agents—from writing your first prompt to deploying an agent your team can actually use in production. You'll learn:
‍
- How to structure system instructions and prompts to get consistent results
- Testing approaches to catch issues in development
- Best practices for deploying agents into production

By the end, you'll have a working agent and a framework for testing any agent you build in the future.

In this exclusive session we'll cover

How to build custom AI agents for your data operations

Create specialized agents tailored to your pipeline requirements and deploy them in real-world scenarios.

Testing and refining agents in development

Learn to iterate on prompts, validate outputs, and catch common issues.

Best practices for deploying agents into production

Follow standard practices to ensure safe and effective agentic operations.
