Agentic Engineering with Codex – Applying AI Agents in Practice

AI‑driven software development, DevOps & IT automation with agent‑based systems

In this hands‑on workshop, you will learn how to use AI agents with Codex safely and effectively in software development, DevOps, system administration and IT automation.
You will discover how agentic engineering accelerates development and operational processes, increases automation and improves quality — from code generation and testing to documentation, infrastructure and operational tasks.

Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally changing how software is built, operated and maintained.
With Codex, powerful AI agents are available that can autonomously execute tasks, coordinate workflows and support complex technical processes.

This training shows you how to apply Agentic Engineering in a practical and controlled way, enabling sustainable gains in efficiency, security and quality across modern IT environments.
