Agent Factory Foundations

Build a working AI system in the room.

Not a course. Not theory. In 90 minutes, you build a practical AI agent workflow that completes a useful task, with human review and traceability built into the steps that matter. Guided live by a practitioner who builds audit-ready systems for federal and regulated environments.

What makes it different

You leave having built something real.

Most AI training is someone talking through a slide deck. This is different: you sit down, follow along, and leave with a working pattern you can reuse, plus the method to apply it to your own work.

You build, not watch

You run the workflow live and adapt it to your own inputs, with setup support during the session.

Taught by a builder

Led by Mariana Lungu, Founder & Data Architect at Archetype Core, with 8+ years building traceable, audit-ready systems in federal environments.

The discipline that matters

You learn how human approval, traceability, and clear boundaries reduce unreliable outputs and make AI workflows easier to review.

Why Archetype Core Teaches This

Workshops are part of the same discipline.

Archetype Core workshops make AI systems less mysterious by teaching the same principles used in audit-ready infrastructure: clear roles, controlled context, human review, traceability, and repeatable workflows. The goal is not to chase AI hype. The goal is to help people build with structure from the beginning.

Built from the public Agent Factory repo.

Upcoming Sessions

Choose a live session that fits your schedule.

Agent Factory Foundations runs in small live cohorts throughout the month. Each session covers the same 90-minute hands-on workshop, so you only need to attend one.

Format

90 minutes, live and online. Small groups. You build alongside, in real time.

Pricing

Founding cohort price: $99
Future sessions may be priced higher. Includes the live workshop, setup guidance, and access to the public Agent Factory repo.

What you need

A laptop, internet connection, and one workflow idea you may want to improve.

Questions

Before you sign up.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Agent Factory Foundations is designed for professionals, founders, and operators. You should be comfortable using a laptop, but you do not need to be a developer.

What do I need to bring?

A laptop and internet connection. You'll get short setup instructions before the session so you arrive ready to build.

Is it live, or recorded?

Live and online. You build in real time alongside everyone else, with hands-on support if you get stuck. A replay may be provided for registered attendees depending on the session.

Who runs the workshop?

Mariana Lungu, Founder & Data Architect at Archetype Core, focused on audit-ready AI systems, agent workflows, and data infrastructure.

What will I walk away with?

A working AI agent workflow, a clear mental model for designing agents, and access to the public Agent Factory repo so you can keep building after the session.
