Move beyond basic chatbots and unlock the potential of autonomous agents in your software. This hands-on workshop is tailored for developers ready to build systems that can reason, plan, and execute complex tasks. Learn how to architect, build, and evaluate practical “agentic” applications that go beyond simple text generation to perform real work. We will also describe concepts like human-in-the-loop and transparency.
In this workshop, you’ll learn about the following concepts:
The workshop will be an applied programming session in TypeScript using the Mastra agentic framework on an example application we have prepared for the participants.
Software developers interested in Agentic applications. Intermediate general programming skills.
Bring your own computer. You will need to install Node.js, Git and an IDE of your choice. Go to https://github.com/callistaenterprise/gaia-2026-agentic-workshop.git for code download, installation, and further instructions.
