​Frameworks like Agno make it easy to build autonomous AI agents. But shipping a production-ready agent that integrates with your tools, writes usable code, and scales across your environment still takes too much work. ​In this workshop, you’ll build and deploy a Slack-native coding agent that monitors bug reports (from GitHub Issues or Notion), proposes a fix, and shares it with your team—using the Agno framework, deployed with xpander.ai, and powered by SOTA Models from Amazon Bedrock / OpenAI or Anthropic. ​What You’ll Build ​An agent that can: • ​Watch GitHub Issues or a Notion bug board for new reports • ​Parse and understand bug descriptions • ​Generate and test a code patch using Bedrock models or Codex as a tool • ​Post the proposed fix in Slack for review • ​Run in the cloud with secure, observable infrastructure ​Agenda ​Session 1: Demo (30 min) David Twizer, xpander.ai ​How production-grade coding agents work ​We’ll walk through a live agent that watches for bugs and...
