    Engineer a Summarizer
    That Survives Production.

    A hands-on, 6-hour workshop for engineers who already have an agent running. Take a personal PDF, Word & email summarizer and re-engineer it — structured outputs, retrieval, guardrails, testing, and CI — the difference between a demo and a real system.

    Why This Workshop?

    A working demo and a production system are two different things. In this 6-hour workshop, you take a personal document & email summarizer and close that gap — walking out with:

    A summarizer that ingests PDFs, Word docs, and emails — not just chat prompts
    Structured, validated summaries (title, key points, source) — not just prose
    Retrieval-augmented summaries grounded in the actual document, not guesses
    Guardrails that catch hallucinated facts or leaked sensitive info
    A metrics dashboard for tokens, cost, and latency — per document
    A live REST API endpoint, deployed via CI, that anyone can call

    What You Will Build

    A Production-Grade Summarizer Agent

    Take a personal PDF/Word/email summarizer and re-engineer it to handle real documents reliably.

    It will:

    Accept a PDF, Word doc, or email as input
    Retrieve the most relevant sections before summarizing
    Return a structured, validated JSON summary — not raw prose
    Refuse or flag content that trips a guardrail
    Report tokens, cost, latency and errors via Traccia

    You walk out with a production-ready summarizer agent, a live endpoint, and a GitHub repo with logging and tests.

    Who Is This For

    Software Engineers

    Turn a weekend summarizer prototype into something you'd actually ship.

    Tech Leads

    Learn the guardrail and testing patterns your team should standardize on.

    AI Developers

    Go deeper on document RAG, observability, and evaluation than a beginner course covers.

    Platform Teams

    See what it takes to run agents reliably — logging, CI, and cost control.

    7 Chapters. One Production-Grade Summarizer.

    Take your Course 1 agent and re-engineer it into a real PDF/Word/email summarizer, chapter by chapter.

    Final Deliverable: A robust personal document & email summarizer agent that handles real PDFs, Word docs, and emails reliably, complete with observability and testing.
