One-day in-person workshop · Plus X, Brighton

Build a working AI agent for one real business workflow — in a single day.

Build your first AI agent in a day — and learn the framework to keep building them yourself.

You'll leave with

One working AI agent, built around a workflow you chose
A reusable agent blueprint (templates + checklist) so you can build the next one yourself
A rollout plan: how to test, measure, and introduce it safely to your team
Max 10 people per cohort. You get real build support — not a slide deck.

You know AI matters. You just don't know what to do about it.

You've seen the headlines. You've probably tried ChatGPT. Maybe you've sat through a webinar or two. And you still don't have anything running in your business.

That's not because you're behind. It's because most of what's out there starts with the technology and hopes you'll figure out where it fits. We start the other way around:

1. What are your business priorities?
2. What's blocking you?
3. How can we apply AI to remove that block?

It's not AI for the sake of it. It's AI in service of the business you're already running.

The real cost isn't the subscription you're not using. It's the 5, 10, 20 hours a week your team spends on work that an agent could handle — triage, reporting, first-pass responses, chasing updates, pulling data together.

Every week that stays manual is a week you're paying for capacity you could have built.

The Five Levels of AI Capability

The race from zero to Level 5

Most businesses sit at Level 1 or 2. Every process depends on a person starting it, doing it, and finishing it. This workshop is designed to move you to Level 3 or 4 — where AI handles the heavy lifting and you stay in control.

L1 0.1×

Manual

No SOP exists. Work lives in people's heads, emails, and tribal knowledge. Every task requires a human to start, execute, and finish it.

L2

Documented Most companies today

SOPs are written down. Processes are repeatable and teachable, but still require a human to execute every step.

L3 10×

AI Workflow Workshop target

Human and AI work together. AI drafts, summarises, and accelerates — but a human still reviews and approves. Capacity starts to multiply.

L4 100×

Agent Workshop target

An AI agent handles the workflow end to end. Humans set objectives and handle exceptions. The agent executes, monitors, and adapts autonomously.

L5 1,000×

Agent Swarm

Multiple agents coordinate across functions — planning, executing, and optimising. Humans govern the system. This is where the biggest organisations are heading.

Who's behind this

Built by people who've done this with real businesses — not a slide deck from a tech company.

AI Potential is a generative AI consultancy that works with SMEs. We don't sell software. We build capability.

Gareth Kemp has been working with AI since March 2023 — not as a technologist, but as someone who spent 20 years helping businesses grow and saw AI compress weeks of work into under an hour. Since then, he's delivered AI training and transformation for organisations including Mars, Save the Children, West Sussex County Council, and the University of Sussex.

This isn't theory. Every agent framework we teach has been built and deployed with real clients.

How it works

One day. One workflow. One working agent.

We'll offer you a short onboarding before the day to help you identify the right workflow and get a head start. But if you can't get to it, don't worry — we cover everything you need in the session itself.

Once you've built one agent, the process is repeatable. The framework, templates, and approach you learn on the day work for any workflow — so your first agent is the start, not the finish.

Step 01

Find the right workflow

We start the day by working through what makes a great AI agent and helping you identify the strongest candidate from your business. We start with your priorities, identify what's blocking you, and work out where an agent will have the most impact. If you've done the onboarding, you'll arrive with a head start. If not, we'll get you there.

Step 02

Build your agent

We guide you through building a working AI agent for your chosen workflow. Not a demo. Not a simulation. Your agent, your data, your business logic.

Step 03

Deploy with support

You leave with a working agent, a reusable template, and a rollout plan. After the session, you get 2 weeks of email support plus a 45-minute one-to-one call at day 14 to make sure your agent is running.

See it in action

See what you'll actually build

How an AI agent actually works — and what you'll build on the day

This isn't a concept. Watch a real agent handle a real workflow — then build your own on the day.

What's included

Everything you need to leave with a working agent

The day

Full-day, in-person workshop at Plus X, Brighton. You'll work on your own agent with hands-on guidance throughout. Max 10 people — so you get actual support, not a lecture.

What you bring

A laptop and a real workflow you want to improve. We'll offer you a short onboarding beforehand to help you arrive with the right one — but we also cover this on the day, so come as you are.

What's included

  • Full-day guided build session
  • What makes a great AI agent — selection criteria and approach
  • Agent blueprint templates and checklist
  • Rollout plan for your team
  • 2 weeks of email support after the session
  • 45-minute one-to-one follow-up call at day 14
  • Lunch and refreshments

Platform agnostic

This workshop teaches the approach, not a specific tool. You can build agents in whichever large language model you prefer. No coding. No technical experience required.

Investment

£2,500 + VAT per person

You're not paying for one day. You're paying for the capability to build AI agents whenever you need them. You leave with a working agent, a proven framework, and the confidence to build the next one — and the one after that — without us.

Is this right for you?

It's for you if

  • You run an SME and you're ready to put AI to work on a specific operational task
  • You have at least one workflow that currently eats time every week
  • You're already confident using AI day-to-day — this isn't an introduction to AI, it's a build session
  • You want to build internal AI capability, not depend on a consultant forever
  • You're comfortable making decisions — this is a build day, not a classroom

It's not for you if

  • You're not yet confident using AI tools — take the AI Fluency Course first, then join a future cohort
  • You want a chatbot demo or a generic "AI strategy" session
  • You don't have a specific workflow in mind (we can help you identify one during onboarding or on the day, but you need to come ready to work)

If your agent isn't working by end of day, you get a free 1:1 to finish it.

This is a build workshop, not a lecture. The whole point is that you leave with something that works. If for any reason your agent isn't operational by the end of the session, we'll book a free one-to-one with you to get it across the line. No time limit, no conditions.

Ready to build?

The next cohort runs at Plus X, Brighton. Seats are capped at 10 to make sure everyone gets real build support.
