Overview

Join NVIDIA, the University of Sheffield Centre for Machine Intelligence (CMI) and Research Software Engineering (RSE), and the N8 consortium for the “Building Practical AI Agents Using Claw: Hands-On Workshop”. This one-day workshop introduces participants to AI agents using Claw through a practical mix of short talks, guided setup, hands-on exploration, and open workshop time. Participants will learn how AI agents can use tools, files, APIs, models, and workflows, then use NVIDIA Brev credits to get started quickly.

The day is designed to be practical and collaborative. Participants will work in teams on use cases for research, education, productivity, operations, accessibility, or other real-world workflows, then share their progress in a short show-and-tell session.
