AI Agents for Corporations

Implement local AI agents — fully automate with GenAI, zero data leakage.

3–5 days Engineering teams, tech leads, CTOs

Overview

Your company’s data is its most valuable asset — and it should never leave your walls. This masterclass teaches your team to build, deploy, and operate autonomous AI agents entirely on your own infrastructure. No third-party API calls with sensitive data, no vendor lock-in.

What you’ll build

By the end of this masterclass, your team will have a working local AI agent system that can:

  • Execute multi-step business workflows autonomously
  • Interact with internal databases, APIs, and tools
  • Run entirely on-premise or in your private cloud
  • Operate within your existing security and compliance boundaries

Curriculum

Day 1 — Foundations & Local LLM Setup

  • Local LLM deployment (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp) — choosing the right approach for your infra
  • Model selection: when to use 7B vs 13B vs 70B parameter models
  • Benchmarking latency, throughput, and quality for your use case
  • GPU provisioning and cost modelling

Day 2 — Agent Architecture

  • Agent design patterns: ReAct, plan-and-execute, reflexion
  • Tool definition and function calling with local models
  • Memory systems: conversation context, long-term retrieval, working memory
  • Guardrails and output validation

Day 3 — Integration & Orchestration

  • Connecting agents to internal systems (databases, REST APIs, file stores)
  • Multi-agent collaboration patterns
  • Task queuing and orchestration with Celery / background workers
  • Error handling, retries, and fallback strategies

Day 4 — Security & Compliance

  • PII detection and redaction pipelines
  • Audit logging for every agent decision
  • Role-based access control for agent capabilities
  • GDPR / ISO 27001 compliance patterns for AI systems

Day 5 — Production Deployment

  • Containerisation and deployment (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Monitoring: latency, token usage, failure rates, drift detection
  • A/B testing agent behaviours
  • Scaling strategies and cost optimisation
  • Capstone: deploy your agent to a staging environment

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with Python
  • Basic understanding of REST APIs
  • Access to a machine with a GPU (or cloud GPU budget)

Outcomes

Your team leaves with a production-ready local AI agent, deployment playbook, and the confidence to iterate independently.
