What if you could safely harness AI agents to automate real work, without spending a dime?


Join us for a free one-hour BHIS webcast with Ethan Robish and Derek Banks to cut through the hype and learn what coding agents really are, why they’re not just for developers, and how to start for free.

You’ll learn how tools like Opencode work, how to overcome security and trust barriers, and how to give agents the context, skills, and guardrails they need to safely plan, execute, and iterate.
