This is the "Burnout Loop", and if your business isn't running on auto-mode, it’s bound for operational doom.DisclaimerThis workshop is designed for intermediate practitioners. You'll get the most out of it with some coding experience and a working knowledge of Google Cloud.Bring your laptop – this is a hands-on session.The workshopUsing Vertex AI Agent Builder on Google Cloud, you'll architect a "Digital C-Suite" for a Tutoring & Media business – stepping out of the solo operator role and into the leader of a high-functioning agentic board.
