Forter presentation: how it trained 200 R&D staff to build AI agents in two weeks
At QCon AI, Forter principal engineer Ben Maraney described a two‑week internal sprint that gave ~200 R&D staff hands‑on experience building AI agents. The team lowered friction by running a custom MCP server, combining no‑code and code platforms, avoiding complex RAG setups, and coordinating with security and legal to speed adoption.
