Build Powerful AI Agents Without the Headaches

Stop getting stuck on infrastructure. Start building agents that actually work.

Hands-on workshop designed for builders who are tired of the same old problems: OAuth complexity, brittle translation layers, and deployment hell.

This is your chance to learn a new, more efficient way to build.

We'll show you how to solve the most common agent development challenges.

This workshop directly addresses the biggest hurdles in agent development:

OAuth is a Project Killer: You'll learn how to bypass weeks of authentication setup and give your agents secure, dynamic access to critical services like Gmail, Slack, and Salesforce.
APIs Don't Speak "Intent": Stop building expensive disambiguation engines. We'll show you how to connect LLMs to your APIs more intelligently, reducing token costs and hallucination probability.
Infrastructure Complexity Kills Velocity: You'll get hands-on experience setting up, deploying, and configuring agents in a fraction of the time, so you can focus on building value, not fighting with infrastructure.
Standard Testing Practices Break Down: You'll learn how to go beyond toy demos. We'll introduce a new framework for testing and evaluating agents, so you can move from manual checks to a scalable, automated workflow.

This is a four hour, hands-on session. By the end of the afternoon, you will:

Build an AI/LLM-powered CLI application from the ground up.
Get a deep understanding of what "tools" are in an AI context and how to use them effectively.
Learn best practices on how to build a reliable tool effectively
Walk away with a working project and the knowledge to build more powerful agents.

Alex Salazar, CEO/cofounder of Arcade. Sold his last company to Okta, dude knows Auth.

Shub Argha, Founding Solutions Engineer. Previously at ngrok helping design production-ready ready patterns for everything from OAuth to IOT networking.

This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from former Okta engineers who have solved these problems at scale.

This workshop is for software engineers who are comfortable with the command line and want to get hands-on with building real-world AI applications.

This is a technical deep dive, not a high-level overview.

Software Engineers who want to level up their skills in AI and LLM application development.
Engineers who are tired of fighting infrastructure and want to learn new, powerful workflows.What you'll learn:

Food, drinks and good vibes will be provided during the workshop.
