Overview:

What if you could build an AI agent that answers questions, supports decisions, and works for you — starting right now, at lunch?

In this hands-on Lunch & Learn session, Mei Lin will demonstrate how non-technical professionals can begin building practical AI agents using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models, no coding background or prior AI experience required.

Using a live real-world example, a Texas AI Law Agent built during the session, participants will explore how AI agents can be trained using their own documents, policies, and project information to generate grounded, context-aware responses instead of generic internet answers.

Designed specifically for curious professionals and systems thinkers, this session will help demystify agentic AI and provide practical, beginner-friendly pathways into AI adoption and experimentation.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the fundamentals of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and how AI agents use contextual data
• Explore three practical approaches to building a project-focused AI agent
• Learn how to feed documents, policies, and project information into an AI system for more accurate outputs
• Discover beginner-friendly tools and workflows for non-technical professionals entering the AI space
• Gain confidence in applying AI thinking and experimentation within project management and workplace environments
• Recognize how PMPs and project professionals are uniquely positioned to adapt to and lead AI-enabled workflows
