Build and deploy an Agent

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

A working IT‑support agent is built from a GitHub Codespace, connected to a Slack developer sandbox, and deployed to Vercel in about 15 minutes using the Slack CLI, templates, Bolt SDK, and the OpenAI Agents SDK. The demo uses slack run for local hot‑reload testing, edits suggested prompts live, then runs a scripted setup and slack deploy to move environment variables and create the Vercel project; the deployed agent works in channels and DMs.
