Audience exposure level - Level 2: Sometimes use AI

Coding agents have become increasingly popular as general productivity tools with project managers who have reported using them as part of their own digital workflows. This hands-on workshop introduces participants to using coding agents — tools like OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity or Claude Code — to manage project data stored as files and folders on their computers, build process visualisations and working tool prototypes. Participants will learn to give agents natural-language instructions to organise data, process documents, and build simple tools for managing research and knowledge workflows — without needing prior coding experience.

Objectives

  • What coding agents are and how they differ from chatbots
  • New workflows and skills required
  • Skills and agent instructions — moving beyond the basic prompt
  • Setting up and configuring a coding agent for managing files
  • Building useful visualisations of the project process and data
  • Security considerations when using coding agents
