/ About this event

Build and Deploy AI Apps in 1 Hour

Most "build an AI app" workshops end at a notebook that works on your machine. This one ends with a pipeline running in the cloud that you can hit from a URI.

Bring a laptop. That's it. Everything happens in the browser on RocketRide Cloud: build the pipeline on the canvas, deploy it, and call it. No installs, no environment setup, no version mismatches eating the first fifteen minutes.

What you'll build

A [webhook -> agent -> response] pipeline that [does the thing]. You'll wire it up on the canvas, add an LLM node and a tool node, watch the trace as it runs, then deploy it and connect over its URI. Roughly 20 lines of JSON underneath, but you won't have to write them by hand unless you want to.

Agenda

0:00 Sign in, everyone starts from the same blank canvas 0:08 How pipelines work: nodes, the service catalog, what the runtime handles for you 0:18 Build it: agent, LLM, tool 0:38 Deploy, grab the URI, call it, add access control 0:52 Extend it or break it, Q&A

Prerequisites

A laptop and a browser. Create a free RocketRide Cloud account before you show up at [signup link] so you're building at minute one instead of waiting on a confirmation email.

Who this is for

Developers who have shipped something before. You don't need prior RocketRide experience or an AI background, but you should be comfortable reading JSON and thinking in terms of inputs and outputs. If you've hand-rolled an agent loop and gotten tired of maintaining it, this is aimed at you.

What you leave with

A deployed pipeline you own, running in your account, that you can keep extending after the room clears out.
