Surgent's Build an AI Agent With ChatGPT: A Hands-on Lab for Financial Professionals

---

This hands-on course introduces accountants, auditors, and finance professionals to agentic AI by simulating autonomous behavior using the basic version of ChatGPT. Participants will use role-play, prompt engineering, and guided interaction loops to create agents that simulate planning, decision-making, and communication workflows. No coding or advanced access is required. Participants will practice designing task-specific prompts, simulating agent autonomy using flipped interaction patterns, and evaluating agent output for risk and effectiveness. This course makes agentic AI accessible to all learners through practical, scenario-based exercises using tools they already have.

Major subjects

• Agentic simulation using prompt design and structured interaction
• Flipped agent/user roles in ChatGPT (autonomy emulation)
• Use case walkthroughs: audit Q&A bot, tax helper, financial planning agent
