1 hourBuild agents with human-like memory
In this workshop, we will walk you through Mastra’s newly improved memory system, why we built it the way we did, and what we learned along the way. We will explain the different kinds of memory in Mastra and when to use each one. You will see how to build agents that remember users across sessions, recall relevant context from months of history, and reason correctly about time.

1 hourIntroduction to Workspaces
We just launched Workspaces 🎉 In this workshop we'll walk you through why we built them and what they unlock. We'll share the problems we kept running into while building agents, how those led to Workspaces, and what this means for you as a builder.

1 hourBuild your first agent with Mastra
2026 might be the year of AI agents but this session is your chance to actually build and deploy an agent yourself. AI agents are autonomous systems that can perceive their environments, make decisions, and independently take actions to achieve specific goals. With today’s tools and frameworks, it’s never been easier to build them, and Alex at Mastra how to do it in less than an hour. Use agents to build things like a personalized travel agent that puts together vacations for you. Or use multiple-agents to simulate a ‘team’ of writers and editors that seamlessly collaborate on content. This event is open to all devs and aspiring AI engineers, regardless of background, so feel free to share the invite link. It’s recommended that you have a code editor and node v20+ installed prior to the session. You should be comfortable with basic JavaScript and the command line. This isn’t a talk; it’s a live workshop where you’ll walk away having built and deployed your first AI agent.

1 hourMastra 1.0 workshop
Mastra 1.0 is coming this week. In this workshop, we’ll build an agent together and, along the way, explain Mastra with a focus on what’s new in 1.0. If you’re new to Mastra, this is a solid introduction. If you already use it, it’s a good opportunity to go deeper on 1.0. Hosts: - Shane Thomas, Co-founder and CPO at Mastra - Alex Booker, Developer Experience at Mastra What we'll cover: - Mastra v1 overview: what’s in 1.0 and how the pieces fit together - Core primitives: agents, workflows, tools, memory, and control flow - Upgrade guidance: what changed, what’s stable, and how to move to v1 - End to end demo: building and running a real agent setup What you’ll get: - A clear mental model of Mastra v1 - A walkthrough of every major feature in 1.0 - Live code demos showing how things work in practice - Practical guidance for upgrading safely - Real time Q and A

50 minutesBeyond vibes: Measuring your agent with evals
Relying on “vibes” to see if your agent works doesn’t scale. In this session, you’ll learn how to build a clear, repeatable signal for how your agent really performs - using evals. Hosted by: - Alex Booker (Developer Educator @ Mastra) - Yujohn Nattrass (Software Engineer, working on Evals @ Mastra) We’ll break down what evals are, how they differ from traditional tests, and how they show up in real systems with concrete examples and demos. You’ll see practical patterns for getting started - including LLM-as-a-Judge - and how to use evals to reliably iterate on agents powered by techniques like RAG. We’ll also go deeper into why rigorous evaluation matters - where built-in evals are powerful, where they break down or mislead, and how to pair them with data analysis and a technique called open coding to truly understand and improve your agent’s behaviour over time. Expect a grounded, no-hype look at automated evals designed for people who ship, with time for questions throughout and at the end. Recording and code examples will be available to everyone who registers.

60 minutesBuild a Slack Agent with Mastra
In this hands-on workshop, Alex Booker and Grayson Hicks from Mastra will show you how to build a Slack AI agent from scratch using Mastra. You will jump straight into code and ship a production-ready agent in around 40 minutes. Slack is an ideal interface for AI agents. It works across web, desktop, and mobile, supports rich inputs like files and media, and keeps context clean through threads. You can work directly with APIs or plug into existing Slack integrations. The session ends by demonstrating how to connect a Mastra agent to Slack with zero code using Mastra Cloud, followed by time for questions.

60 minutesBuild Multi-Agent Networks with Mastra
If you've been working with individual AI agents but find yourself wishing they could collaborate more intelligently, this workshop is for you! Agent Networks in Mastra let you create teams of specialized agents that dynamically work together to solve complex tasks. This session will teach you how to build Agent Networks using Mastra's new Agent Network feature. Unlike traditional workflows where you control every step, Agent Networks use LLM-based routing to automatically decide which agent should handle each part of a task. Build a research network that coordinates web search agents with data analysis agents, or create a content team where writing agents collaborate with editing and fact-checking agents. You'll learn when to use Agent Networks versus Workflows, how to design effective agent collaboration, and how to debug multi-agent interactions. This event is open to all devs and aspiring AI engineers, regardless of background, so feel free to share the invite link. You should be comfortable with basic JavaScript and the command line. This isn't a talk; it's a live workshop where you'll walk away with your own multi-agent network ready to tackle complex, collaborative tasks.

1 hourMastra Studio workshop
Become the Mastra power user your team relies on. In this fast‑paced, hands‑on session, Shane (Mastra co-founder and CPO) and Alex (Developer Experience fanatic) will unveil 10 lesser‑known Mastra Studio features that unlock serious day‑to‑day leverage - stuff that cuts build time, streamlines iteration, and makes your development workflow sing 🎵 Who this is for: Mastra users who want to level up from competent to power user Teams looking to standardise best practices and speed up delivery You’ll leave with: A practical checklist of 10 high‑impact Studio tips Guidance for sharing Studio with your team via Mastra Cloud What is Mastra Studio? Studio, formerly Playground, provides an interactive UI for building and testing your agents. This lets you start building without worrying about integration right away. As your project evolves, Studio's development environment helps you iterate on your agent quickly. Meanwhile, Observability and Scorer features give you visibility into performance at every stage.
