The future of AI isn’t just tools anymore. It’s agents that think, act, and execute on your behalf.

Join us for an immersive AI Agents Masterclass with our Managing Director Temi Kolawole, bringing practical, builder-grounded insights on AI product development, agent architecture, and applied research straight to the IIH tech community.

Drawing from his book Building With Claude Code and AI Agents, hands-on work with self-hosted agent orchestration platforms like OpenClaw, plus years of shipping real products across GovTech, innovation, and emerging tech, this session cuts through the hype and gives you an honest, hands-on introduction to the AI agents era. We will dig into where agents actually shine, process automation, workflow orchestration, research and data tasks, customer operations, and the kind of repetitive, judgment-heavy work that quietly drains teams every day.

Expect frameworks you can apply, lessons from the trenches, and a clear-eyed view of where this is all heading. Whether you are a developer, founder, product person, or just AI-curious, you will leave with sharper instincts and a real starting point.

🗓 Date: Tuesday, May 5, 2026
⏰ Time: 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM WAT
