About this session
Most people have access to powerful AI tools, but building useful personal agents still feels unclear: what should the agent do, how should it remember context, how should it connect to tools, and how do you make it reliable enough to use every day?
In this builder-focused workshop, Cole Medin will break down the practical foundations of building personal AI agents with Claude Code. The session will focus on reusable agent-building patterns and components, including memory, hooks, scheduled agents, tool integrations, context management, and the skills builders can use to design their own personal AI systems.
Cole will explain how these pieces fit together and how builders can adapt them to their own needs. He will also share an ordered roadmap for what to build first, what to add next, and how each layer compounds into a more capable personal agent.
Attendees will leave with a clear mental model, practical building blocks, and a defined first step for creating personal AI agents with Claude Code.
What you’ll take away
- A repeatable pattern for a personal agent that survives past the demo
- How Claude Code fits into an agentic workflow, not just a coding session
- Memory, tools, and guardrails that make agents trustworthy day-to-day
- The mistakes Cole made building agents for enterprise clients — so you don’t
