CIN Instructor Toolbox: How to create an agent: 007 key skills that every student – and instructor – needs to know

[Stephen Schneiter]

In this 2-hour hands-on session, CompTIA’s @James Stanger will walk you step-by-step through how to design, build, and test a practical AI agent. Think of the agent as a Q-branch, customized digital tech assistant.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Create a basic AI agent using free and pay-tier platforms
• Plan your agent like a project— understand why, like painting a house, success is all in the preparation
• Evaluate AI agent tools and platforms and decide which ones fit your needs
• Map and document workflows during the planning before even considering building an agent
• Apply industry best practices for building agents, including setting goals, organizing the information that your agent needs, setting boundaries, and the vital testing and security measures you should consider

Join CompTIA’s Dr. James Stanger to move beyond AI buzzwords and leave with a clear, practical roadmap for building an AI agent you, your students, and industry workers can use.
