Hi AgentZero Community!
I've listened back over our first two weekly community calls, and it's fantastic seeing so much enthusiasm and engagement. However, I've noticed a recurring issue: often, valuable call time is consumed by detailed use cases, leaving less time to explore and understand the broader capabilities of AgentZero itself.
That got me thinking is there another way we could potentially learn the system, while doing and having those (like myself) who are less technical and new to A0, look over the shoulders of some subject matter experts doing their thing.
I came up with the following idea that I think might help address this and add value to our learning process:
Introducing... Community Project (Maybe saved as a new section under Classroom?)
This would be an ongoing, collaborative, and practical learning initiative, structured as follows:
- Community Project Ideation
Members pitch simple, achievable (target timeline: 1–4 weeks per project), not-for-profit project ideas, designed to solve a real world problem with a focus on offering a solution to a problem that would do some good in the world. But that also doubles up as offering learning content that benefits the wider A0 community.
2. Community Voting
Members vote on the first project to start, with other popular ideas queued for future rounds.
3. Forming a Project Team
Interested community members volunteer, highlighting their expertise (Prompting, Agent setup, Knowledge base, Tools integration, MCP setup, API connections, etc.). A collaborative team forms around the chosen project.
4. Active Collaborative Development
- The team collaborates actively, configuring AgentZero step-by-step.
- Each team member documents and records short weekly walkthrough videos demonstrating their configurations and implementations.
5. Document and Share
The short videos from the above step are ran through some A0 with a prompt to create SOPs/guides from the video transcript, AI-processed for clarity, and shared/saved inside the Community Project section, creating comprehensive, practical learning resources.
6. Community Showcase & Promotion
Upon completion, the resulting AgentZero project is shared with the broader community and online to celebrate our collective achievement, raise awareness of AgentZero to grow the userbase, but ultimately to offer a working solution to the problem the project set out to solve, so anyone facing that real world problem can find it, download A0 and have a working solution.
7. Repeat and Grow
Once the first couple of projects are completed the likelihood is that the community will benefit from the knowledge and more projects could spawn and be filled with teams much quicker.
Benefits:
- Focused, hands-on learning.
- Step-by-step guidance through real-world applications.
- Collaborative skill-building across diverse expertise.
- Tangible, shareable outcomes.
I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts, feedback, or additional suggestions on this approach.
