Me, You, and AI - Build your own AI agent in one afternoon.

Sunday, August 23, 2026
11:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Studio Homme
Most knowledge workers use artificial intelligence for little more than drafting quick emails, but a new wave of practical tech is changing how professionals handle daily workflows. If you have been curious about bridging the gap between being a casual AI experimenter and an active builder, the *Me, You, and AI* workshop on Grange Avenue is designed to get your hands dirty.
Led by Emanuel (Mano) Tsiris—an experienced startup builder and AI growth specialist who engineered 'Argos' to handle his own email, calendar, and systems—this session skips the typical slide deck in favor of actual building. By the time you walk out of the room, you will have a functional AI agent running on your laptop to automate real administrative tasks.
What to Cover
Running out of Studio Homme in the heart of Chinatown, the four-hour afternoon intensive takes participants through a structured itinerary designed for creators, founders, and freelancers:
* **Workflow Audit:** Pinpoint the exact tasks in your week worth automating. * **Building the Brain:** Learn how to configure context, memory, and project parameters to eliminate generic AI outputs. * **Wiring It Up:** Connect your agent live to handle email and calendar management. * **Track Customization:** Choose specialized tracks tailored for content creators or business operators.
