What is a model?
A model is a system trained on examples to recognize patterns and generate predictions or outputs. Different models work with text, images, sound, and other data. An AI app provides an interface to one or more models.
AI TRAINING & WORKSHOPS · CUSTOMIZED TO FIT YOUR NEEDS
From using AI to building with AI.
Hands-on AI training for everyone—from your first AI conversation to building with AI.
Use your organization’s existing AI access, or let us prepare the workshop environment.
Put AI to work
Accelerate your team with AI.
Work through practical examples tailored to your goals—everyday tasks, business workflows, or scientific research. Help your team explore ideas, solve problems, and spend less time on repetitive work.
Keep people at the center—with sound judgment, verification, and continued development of your own skills.
No prior AI experience is required. Available online or in person, nationwide.
Start with the basics
But what is AI?
Artificial intelligence is a broad term for computer systems that perform tasks such as recognizing images, working with language, or making predictions. Here are three ideas we’ll make practical together.
What is an LLM?
A large language model (LLM) is a type of model trained to work with language. It generates text from your instructions and the context you provide, helping with explanations, drafts, summaries, and code. Fluent answers can still be wrong, so checking matters.
What is an agent?
An AI agent combines a model with tools and a process for carrying out a task over multiple steps. With permission, it might read files, analyze a spreadsheet, and prepare a report. You set the goal and boundaries, review its work, and approve consequential actions.
Two ways to get hands-on
Choose the access that fits your team.
Both options offer the same practical, interactive instruction. The difference is who provides AI access and how much technical setup we prepare.
Workshops can take place in a computer lab, or participants can bring their own laptops. We confirm internet access and any software requirements before the session.
Clear workshop pricing
Choose a format and group size.
Virtual and in-person workshops have the same base rates. Every workshop includes up to 15 participants.
| Training option | 3-hour workshop | Full-day workshop |
|---|---|---|
| Bring Your Own AI | $2,000 | $3,000 |
| AI on Us | $3,000 | $4,500 |
| Extra participant — Bring Your Own AI | $100 | $150 |
| Extra participant — AI on Us | $150 | $225 |
Each price includes up to 15 participants. Additional participant rates are shown above, up to 30 participants total. A full day includes approximately six hours of instruction plus scheduled breaks. Twice the instruction time for 50% more. AI on Us costs 50% more than Bring Your Own AI for the same duration and group size.
Travel beyond the included local service area, overnight stays, and custom technical requirements are quoted separately in advance. Groups over 30 can book multiple sessions or a customized presentation.

Practical skills
What your team will explore.
We connect familiar AI conversations to the tools, systems, and workflows teams can build with them.
Work effectively with AI
Practice prompting, document analysis, research support, writing, reasoning, and checking AI-generated information.
Build with agents
See how agents work with files, applications, and software tools. Explore the difference between asking for an answer and delegating bounded, multi-step work.
Connect through APIs
Follow a real API demonstration. Learn about credentials, model selection, structured outputs, metered costs, and connecting AI with other applications.
Explore cloud and local AI
Compare commercial hosted models with open-weight models. Discuss privacy, performance, cost, infrastructure, and capabilities. Remote testing does not reproduce local hardware performance or fully on-premises privacy.
Bring AI into real workflows
Work through examples tied to your team’s interests and discuss where AI might help. The focus is on experimentation, not memorizing products.
Use AI responsibly
Cover verification, hallucinations, confidential data, limitations, permissions, security, cost controls, and appropriate human oversight.
Different work. Tailored examples.
Training tracks shaped around your team.

A hands-on teaching approach
Less lecturing. More discovering.
Our workshops are built around participation. We demonstrate practical applications, explain essential concepts, and then give participants opportunities to try things for themselves.
Bring your questions, ideas, and real problems. We’ll help you explore what AI can accomplish, what it cannot reliably do, and how to take a next step. Training is adjusted to your group’s experience, interests, and technical environment.
Nationwide delivery
Online or in person. Nationwide.
Both training options are available virtually or on-site. We confirm access, compatibility, and logistics before the workshop.
Online
- Works well for distributed teams.
- No travel expenses.
- Participants join from their own workstations.
- Pre-workshop testing verifies access and compatibility.
In person
- Hosted at your organization anywhere in the United States.
- Supports collaboration and direct technical assistance.
- Useful for research groups, businesses, and hands-on technical sessions.
- May require coordination with local IT and network administrators.
Travel is clear before you book.
AgenticForge Labs is headquartered near Knoxville, Tennessee. Travel within 100 miles is included when no overnight stay is needed. Beyond that range, applicable travel costs are quoted in advance and included in your proposal.
Depending on destination, a quote may include mileage or economy airfare, lodging, ground transportation, parking, tolls, reasonable meals, and a disclosed travel-day charge for substantial travel. Multi-day or combined sessions can make longer trips more useful.
Frequently asked questions
Before you request a workshop.
Do participants need prior AI experience?
No. Workshops can be adapted for first-time users, mixed-experience groups, or advanced technical teams.
Do participants need paid AI subscriptions?
Not for AI on Us. For Bring Your Own AI, participants use their organization’s approved accounts.
What should participants bring?
A laptop with internet access and any required institutional sign-in. We’ll send exact software and access requirements in advance.
Can you work with our IT department?
Yes. Pre-workshop technical coordination is included, with additional environment preparation for AI on Us.
Can we try models that might run locally?
Yes, where appropriate. Exercises may use small local models or remotely hosted open-weight models. Remote testing helps evaluate quality and usability, but does not reproduce local hardware performance or fully on-premises privacy.
How many people can participate?
Up to 15 participants are included. For three-hour workshops, each additional participant is $100 for Bring Your Own AI or $150 for AI on Us. Full-day rates are $150 or $225 respectively. Workshops have a maximum of 30 participants, subject to technical requirements.
Can you travel to our organization?
Yes. Training is available nationwide. Travel within 100 miles of headquarters is included when no overnight stay is needed; farther travel is quoted in advance.
Can you customize the workshop?
Yes. We adapt examples to participant interests, experience, available tools, and organizational objectives. Extensive software development or integration is scoped separately.
