Building AI Agents - Pre Tech-Jam Setup Guide

This document rovides a clear, technical roadmap for setting up the Cloud-Only AI Stack for the Building AI Agents Tech-Jam.

To maximize our time during the 12-hour Tech Jam, every participant must complete the following account setups. This ensures you have the necessary "Keys" to power your AI Agents.

Estimated Time: 15–20 Minutes

Requirements: A web browser (Chrome or Edge recommended) and a stable internet connection.

No installation is required.

1. Flowise Cloud (The Command Center)

This is where we will build our AI workflows and the Pharma-IQ agent.

  1. Go to flowiseai.com.
  2. Click on "Get Started with Cloud".
  3. Register for a free account.
  4. Verification: Once logged in, you should see an empty dashboard with a side menu (Chatflows, Marketplaces, Credentials, etc.).

2. Groq (The Brain / LLM)

Groq provides the high-speed Large Language Models (LLMs) that act as the "reasoning engine" for our agents.

  1. Go to console.groq.com.
  2. Sign up using your work or personal email.
  3. Navigate to Settings → API Keys in the sidebar.
  4. Click "Create API Key".
  5. Important: Name it "Pharma-IQ-Key" and copy the key immediately. Store it in a notepad; you won't be able to see it again once you close the window.

3. Google AI Studio (The Knowledge / Embeddings)

We use Google’s Gemini to convert Pfizer documents into a format the AI can "read" and search.

  1. Go to aistudio.google.com.
  2. Sign in with a Google account.
  3. On the left sidebar, click "Get API key".
  4. Click "Create API key in new project".
  5. Copy the key and save it. We will use the gemini-embedding-001 model during Session 3.

4. Web Search Tools (The Hands / Real-Time Data)

To give our agents the ability to research live medical data, we will set up both SerpAPI and Tavily to ensure redundancy and higher search limits.

Option A: Tavily (Recommended)

Tavily is optimized for AI agents and offers 1,000 free searches per month.

  1. Go to tavily.com.
  2. Sign up for the Free Tier.
  3. Copy your API Key from the dashboard.

Option B: SerpAPI (Secondary)

SerpAPI is a powerful alternative that mimics Google Search.

  1. Go to serpapi.com.
  2. Register for a free account (provides 100 searches/month).
  3. Navigate to your Dashboard and copy the Private API Key.
