Attention is all you need.

If you have been playing with “AI agents”, you know that getting a model to chat, write code, or call a tool is the easy part.
The hard part is building systems you can actually ship, debug, reason about, and evolve without everything collapsing because a prompt changed.

Editor @yashgandhi_ recommends this workshop because it focuses on the engineering side of AI systems, and not just prompting.

If your team is moving from: demo → production deployment, this one is worth their time & attention.

We’ve moved beyond “prompt engineering.”
AI systems today reason, retrieve, and take action.
But most teams are still figuring out how to build them right.

On 11 April (Bangalore), arvind_devaraj will teach a hands-on workshop 👇
