Build AI Coding Agents with OpenAI, JavaScript & the Agent SDK

Submitted Sep 12, 2025

Introduction

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to build AI coding agents using OpenAI, JavaScript, and the Agent SDK. We’ll go beyond simple prompts — covering how agents call tools, rewrite prompts for better outputs, and apply guardrails to stay safe and useful. Through live coding, you’ll see the agent generate, improve, and explain code step by step.

In this session, you’ll learn how to build AI coding agents that can turn prompts into working code using OpenAI, JavaScript, and the Agent SDK. We’ll cover essential techniques like tool calling, prompt rewriting, and adding guardrails to make agents safer and more reliable. Through live coding, you’ll see an agent generate, review, and improve code step by step.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a ready-to-use starter template that you can extend for your own projects. Whether you’re a developer, student, or maker, this session will give you the practical knowledge to start building and experimenting with AI-powered coding agents right away.

Takeaways

  1. How to design and extend coding agents with OpenAI + the Agent SDK.
  2. Practical techniques like tool calling, prompt rewriting, and guardrails to make agents reliable and safe.
