Agent building workshop

Build a working AI agent in an afternoon

 

A half-day, hands-on workshop for compliance and operations teams in financial services. You'll work in a small cross-functional team, choose a real problem from your own work, and build a live AI agent for it using EC360 MCP.

 

You'll leave with first-hand experience of building an agent. You'll also take away practical lessons from every team in the room on where agents add value and what it takes to build one.

 

Run by Encompass, Barclays and Scottish Financial Enterprise.
