Masterclass: Directing Your First AI Agent

1 class
60 minutes

Description

In this Ask Me Anything style Masterclass, Nick Nisi draws on his experience as a Developer Experience Engineer at WorkOS—where he helps developers build faster and smarter for the modern web—to explore what it actually takes to move from prompting to delegating your first AI agent. 

Most people use AI like a search box: one prompt, one answer, repeat. Bring a task you wish you could hand off as he shows what it takes to shift from chatting to delegating—handing an agent a real piece of work, setting guardrails for safety, and reviewing results instead of babysitting the process. Come ready to discuss:

  • Where prompting stops working and delegating begins
  • How to set guardrails so handing off work to an agent feels safe, not risky
  • What it takes to review an agent's output without babysitting the process

Note: This is an AMA-style session — designed for discussion and live Q&A. Come with your real questions and challenges.
