This week you are going to build AI agents. An agent is an AI that does not just chat. It remembers things, uses tools, and gets work done for you.
Try out Nash!
R-CLI is Backboard’s AI coding agent that lives in your terminal. You type what you want in plain English, and it plans, writes the code, runs it, fixes its own errors, and shows you the result.
Here is the trick that makes Agent Week fun: you are going to use an agent (R-CLI or Studio) to build an agent (on the Backboard API).
You write a single prompt, hand it to R-CLI or Backboard Studio, walk away (metaphorically), and it builds the entire working thing with no follow-up instructions from you.
One prompt. One shot. And this time the output is a real web app where multiple AI agents with different jobs work together to produce something none of them would produce alone.
