Wed, 05 Aug 2026 13:00:00 GMT

SUMMARY

This final session is about getting agents to work together. Building on the skills and workflows from Parts 1 and 2, participants learn how to design multi-agent systems where a manager agent delegates to worker agents, each responsible for executing a specific step toward a final outcome. It is a highly effective approach for tackling complex, high-level tasks while keeping the human in the loop for final review and approval. Participants leave with the confidence to design and direct multi-agent workflows.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED

How to orchestrate multiple agents around planning, execution, review, and verification
When to split work across agents
How to design effective workflows that are faster, safer, and easier

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Use an agent to conduct research and support planning tasks
Apply agent orchestration principles to divide and delegate work across multiple agents
Create dedicated persistent agents for specific responsibilities
Enable communication between agents, including sending and receiving responses across agent boundaries

PREREQUISITES

Charleston Digital AI Academy: Introduction to AI -- Getting started and building confidence with artificial intelligence (Tue, August 11, 2026)

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 13:00:00 GMT

REGISTRATION

SUMMARY

There is a lot of noise and confusion around artificial intelligence, and for many people, a fair amount of anxiety too. This class cuts through both. It begins by addressing the most common myths about AI, then builds a clear and practical understanding of how it works. From there, participants explore today's most widely-used generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude) with guided, low-pressure practice before choosing a real scenario from their own work or life to try. Participants leave with less anxiety, more curiosity, and the confidence to keep exploring.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED

Common myths about AI
How AI works
Generative AI systems and tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.)
Hands-on practice with a real prompt
Making AI work for you: five practical scenarios to try

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Identify and correct the most common misconceptions about AI
Navigate and use at least one generative AI tool with basic confidence
Write a clear, effective prompt using real context from their own work or life
Identify at least one specific way they can use AI in their daily work or personal life

PREREQUISITES

There are no prerequisites for this class. This is an introductory class designed for those who are new to AI and looking for a place to start. Bring a computer, phone, or tablet.
