AI Monkeys Sessions #1 — Lo que aprendimos al certificarnos con Anthropic

Overview

AI Monkeys Sessions #1 is a live, in-person event organized by AI Monkeys in collaboration with The Agile Monkeys. The session centers on sharing practical learnings from achieving the Claude Certified Architect Foundations (CCA-F) certification with Anthropic. Attendees are invited to hear real-world experiences about building with Claude and other LLM agents, including hands-on guidance for design patterns, prompt engineering, and production-ready agent workflows. The event is hosted by Johan and Atamán from The Agile Monkeys’ Engineering team, with a focus on actionable insights for engineers and developers who actively work with AI, as well as those who are curious about practical AI deployments.

What is this event

The event is described as a technical gathering for professionals who build with AI, featuring a conversational format rather than a traditional lecture. It covers what the CCA-F certification entails, what was learned along the path to certification, and the practical implications for designing and deploying agent-based applications. A key element is the internal tooling the team built to practice these concepts, with open access offered to attendees who want to explore it on their own. The session emphasizes production-ready agent flows, reliable context management, and evaluating systems that rely on Claude and similar agents.
