Our mission at Peace & AI is to use AI as a tool to serve positive peace. In a world of expanding AI, a key aspect of positive peace is the individual’s ability to decide what happens with their data, ideas, patterns, and needs. To ensure this, one needs to understand the basics of how an AI agent works. In this hands-on workshop we built an AI agent as a practical example to understand:
We built an AI agent step by step. With that, we could move on to the more nuanced and complex questions, like how to trust and control any AI you bring into your personal or professional life.
What an AI agent is made of — and who controls each part.
Each key component hands-on, with the options available for it.
Performance, privacy and trust: what each choice gives you and what it costs.
With this knowledge, participants began to see what responsible AI can mean for them.
Non-technical users of AI.
People who had used ChatGPT, Claude or Lovable and wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes, or to make informed decisions about AI in their business or daily life.
The setup, done before the day: a laptop with Claude Code, installed with our Agent Learning kit (then called the Agent Dev kit).
Friday 6 November 2026, 3pm to 6pm, at the Business Factory, Ericeira.
There were 10 places.
The real question is what kind of AI you want in your work — and who you become by using it.
