Ben Maraney, a Principal Engineer at Forter, presented at QCon AI about how the company made it simple for 200 team members to become AI agent creators within just two weeks. Forter, an identity-driven fraud and payment decisions company, deals with about 2 billion identities globally and emphasizes data governance and security.
In 2023, Maraney led their first LLM-powered project and AI training for non-engineers. The goal of the presentation was to demystify AI agent creation for both technical and non-technical staff. The presentation covered three main points: tools, frameworks, and removing roadblocks. The team created an MCP server, Toolchain, to provide easy access to various tools, connections, and a user-friendly interface.
By streamlining the process and focusing on ease of use, Forter successfully enabled non-technical team members to build AI agents efficiently.
