Workshop 3 · Hands-on
Every activity here ends with the same question: what's the failure mode and what catches it? Build the agent, run it, write the safety review.
Custom bot · about 30 min
Take what you learned in Workshop 2's CompTIA study activity and build a reusable tutor bot. Use Claude Projects, a Custom GPT, or Poe — whichever has a free tier that fits. Set system instructions once, reuse across every study session.
Open activityAutomation · about 35 min
Take the resume and cover-letter skills from Workshop 1 and chain them into a real automation. Use Zapier or Make on the free tier to wire up a job-feed → AI keyword extraction → draft cover letter pipeline you can rerun every Monday.
Open activityAutomation · about 35 min
Combine the help desk triage skill from Workshop 2 with an automation that watches a shared inbox or ticket queue and writes the first-draft response. The technician approves or edits before sending. The agent does the typing; the human does the judgment.
Open activityBrowser agent · about 30 min
Use a free browser-use agent to research five employers in a target city. Watch what it does, where it gets confused, and where it almost did the wrong thing. Write the safety review you would give to a junior who wanted to use this tool.
Open activityEvals and safety · about 25 min
Take any agent you built today (tutor bot, job-search flow, helpdesk triage, browser research) and put it through a four-test evaluation. Document one specific way it can fail, and the guardrail that catches the failure before it lands on a real person.
Open activity Facilitated by Lemieux Consulting. Hosted by the Urban League of Louisiana.
