# Agentic AI Workshop UAE: governed pilots for enterprise teams > Choose one important workflow and leave with a safe, testable agent pilot. UAE teams design an agent around a real decision or workflow, then define approved knowledge, tool access, permissions, evaluation, security boundaries and human approval before planning a governed pilot. ## What this program changes in practice Agentic AI becomes useful when a team stops asking what an agent could do and starts defining one job properly. That means agreeing the trigger, the information the agent may use, the actions it may take, the decisions it must never make alone and the person who remains accountable. This workshop gives the team enough structure to have that conversation together before anyone invests in a platform, integration or ambitious automation project. The session is not a fixed sequence of demonstrations. The facilitator works with the team on Choose the workflow, Define the agent’s job, Connect sources and tools, using Agent Design Canvas, ChatGPT, Your approved AI tools when those systems are approved and available. Participants compare first results, make missing context visible and improve the work together. They learn not only which request works, but why an output is reliable enough to move into the next working step. The value should not end when people leave the room. Exercises therefore produce concrete outputs such as Agent Design Canvas, Permission and approval map, Failure-test checklist. They give colleagues a traceable starting point, show where human review is still required and make the next pilot smaller and more realistic. Optional follow-up work can build on those artefacts instead of beginning again with another general introduction. ## Program facts - Recommended format: Core workshop · 4–6 hours - Alternative formats: Focused workshop · 4 hours - Delivery: On-site / in person, online, or hybrid - Prerequisites: No technical prerequisite; exercises use approved tools and non-sensitive examples. - Audience: Business, product, operations, innovation and technical teams ready to examine one multi-step workflow together. - Reviewed: 2026-08-20 ## Tools participants use - **Agent Design Canvas:** Define the job, sources, tools, permissions, decisions and human checkpoints before building an agent. - **ChatGPT:** Draft, analyse, research and turn recurring work into reusable team instructions. - **Your approved AI tools:** Exercises adapt to the systems, licences and data boundaries your organisation has approved. ## Outcomes - Select an agent opportunity worth testing - Separate agent work from human decisions - Design permissions and review points - Plan a small pilot with clear tests ## Plan a workshop around work worth improving ### What determines the quote? Share your team size, preferred format, location, approved tools and one workflow you want to improve. These details help scope the preparation, facilitation and any follow-up. Ask for an itemised proposal so you can compare the same scope—not just a day rate. ### How should we assess the value? Choose one representative task and record a baseline before the workshop. Compare the time needed, corrections required and quality of the reviewed output afterwards. Agree who owns the next trial. Treat productivity gains as something to measure, not a promised percentage. ## Practical syllabus ### 1. Choose the workflow Map the current work, friction and decision owner. ### 2. Define the agent’s job Set the goal, boundaries, inputs and expected output. ### 3. Connect sources and tools Decide what the agent may read, use and change. ### 4. Design human control Add approvals, escalation and a visible source trail. ### 5. Test before pilot Create failure cases, success measures and a first pilot plan. ## What the team takes away - Agent Design Canvas - Permission and approval map - Failure-test checklist - Pilot brief with owner and next step ## Prepared delivery - Sponsor alignment call - Short participant questionnaire - Examples adapted to your work - Facilitated live practice - Digital resources - Concise facilitator summary ## Frequently asked questions ### What will our team achieve in the Agentic AI workshop?
