Together with hessian.AI the HeFDI Code School offers three half day workshops related to coding and AI. Participants of these workshops will learn the fundamentals of deep learning, get practical insights into prompt engineering using meeting transcripts and get a glimpse on AI agents.

In this final workshop, you will dive into the world of AI agents and learn how they go beyond standard chatbots and simple LLM prompts to handle complex, multi-step tasks. You will explore the core architecture of modern agents—including tool integration, memory, and planning capabilities, and build a simple, notebook-based agent that can interpret goals and select the right actions autonomously.

We will examine real-world agent patterns, practical use cases, and current limitations, while highlighting key strategies for risk management and output verification. By the end of this session, you will understand how to design, test, and critically evaluate interactive AI agents for your own projects.

Please note: These workshops are designed for researchers who already have basic coding experience (e.g., in Python or R) and want to apply AI tools in their research workflow. As part of the HeFDI Code School, the Expert tracks are tailored specifically for researchers building up their programming skills alongside their domain research, not for professional software developers or computer scientists.
