What BAIC Is All About
The Business AI Collective, formerly the AI Hub @ WSB Club, rebranded this fall with a clear focus: give members more hands-on experience with AI so they graduate with real skills and projects that show what they can do. That includes:
- Interactive workshops and industry talks every Monday at 6:00 p.m. in Grainger Hall, building on the more than 12 industry speakers the group hosted last semester from companies like Snapchat, Google, and 3M
- Semester-long consulting projects, where student teams help nonprofits, small businesses, startups, campus groups, and research labs plan solutions to real AI problems
- A Tech Trek to Chicago this week to meet companies that build and use AI
Business AI Collective Gives Students Hands-On AI Agent Experience with Titletown Tech
AI agents are quickly becoming part of everyday business work. They can take on repetitive tasks, make sense of complex information, and give teams more time for the work that matters. But for many students, AI still feels like something to read about rather than something to use. The fastest way to close that gap is to start building, and you don’t need a technical background to begin.
That idea is behind the Business AI Collective’s (BAIC) newest workshop series.
The Business AI Collective (BAIC) filled a room in Grainger Hall for “Build Your Own AI Agent,” an interactive workshop with Titletown Tech and presenters from Microsoft.
The goal was to give students real, hands-on experience building with AI, even if they had never done it before. No technical background was required. Students brought their laptops and followed along step by step as they worked through building an agent of their own. Workshops like the one this past Monday, are exactly what the Collective set out to do: lower the barrier to entry and get students building.

The real question is about choosing when to opt out, and what you are giving away while opting in.
