Summary

The author is organizing a workshop to help non-technical founders build their first Hermes AI agent or automation, seeking advice on effective teaching methods and common pitfalls.

I'm running a workshop next month to help non-technical founders get their first Hermes agent or automation up and running. The goal is to take someone from zero to having a working agent they actually understand. I've found the initial setup and finding the right foundation is the hardest part for non-technical people — way more than the concepts themselves. For those who've taught AI agents to beginners: what worked? What did you wish you knew before your first workshop? Any pitfalls to avoid when the audience can't fall back on terminal skills?
