Joget Introduces Agent Lab, a Program Helping Businesses Build AI Agents Without Code

Joget Introduces Agent Lab, a Program Helping Businesses Build AI Agents Without Code

New community initiative invites businesses to submit real workflow challenges for a free, expert-built AI agent, with selected builds shown live in an exclusive webinar.

COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Joget, Inc., the global innovator of the open-source, enterprise agentic AI application platform, today announced the launch of Joget Agent Lab, a community-driven initiative that builds a working AI agent for selected businesses at zero cost.

Joget New Logo

Any organisation can submit a bottleneck or manual process, along with how they’d want an agent to solve it, through the Agent Lab submission form. Joget’s product team reviews the entries, selects the strongest use cases, and builds and tests a working prototype for each one.

The finished agents are then unveiled in a live webinar, where Joget walks through the build step by step, including the prompts and tools used, so participants leave knowing exactly how to attempt the same build themselves.

“We hear the same thing from businesses across every industry: they know exactly where AI could save them time, but building an agent still feels like something you need a developer for,” said Raveesh Dewan, President and CEO of Joget.

“Agent Lab takes that assumption apart in public. We build the agent, we show our work, and by the end of the webinar you know how to do it yourself on our platform.”

Joget Agent Lab is open to:

  • Business leaders and managers looking to automate repetitive tasks and free up their teams
  • IT professionals and developers exploring how quickly they can prototype AI agents on a live platform
  • Process owners and analysts searching for a practical fix to a workflow that has outgrown manual handling

How it works

  1. Submit an idea. 

    Describe a bottleneck or manual process, and how an agent could solve it.



  2. Joget builds it. 

    The product team reviews submissions and prototypes an agent for the ideas selected.



  3. Watch it live. 

    Participants join a webinar to see the finished build and learn how to replicate it.

The agents built through the programme run on Joget AI Agent Builder, a no-code tool that lets both technical and non-technical users design agents visually, test them before deployment, and keep a human in the loop for approval.

Businesses looking to move faster on app development more broadly can pair this with Joget AI Composer, which builds and edits forms, lists, workflows, and interfaces through conversation, with every change staying visible and editable inside Joget’s visual builders rather than hidden in generated code.

The webinar is a teaching session, not a takeaway app. Participants who want to rebuild what they saw will need to bring their own LLM API key, the same bring-your-own-key model used across Joget’s AI tools. This approach gives businesses the freedom to connect with their own LLM provider, and puts them in control of their existing data and privacy.

Businesses that want to go further than a single prototype and build full-scale apps and agents that match their enterprise environment will need a Joget platform subscription. Joget’s team is available after the webinar to walk businesses through both.

Submissions for Joget Agent Lab are open now.

Why Invest with Tata AIA Consistent Outperformance, Independently Validated

Mumbai, 27 August 2026: For long-term investors, the key question is whether an investment manager can consistently create value across market cycles. Tata AIA Life Insurance‘s track record offers a strong indication. As of 31 July 2026, its Multi Cap Fund, Top 200 Fund and India Consumption Fund had outperformed the S&P BSE 200 over both one- and five-year periods. This performance also has independent validation: as of June 2026, over 96% of Tata AIA‘s rated AUM carried a 4- or 5-star Morningstar rating, placing the majority of its rated funds among the highest-rated in their categories.

“This rating isn’t the result of one good year it reflects a fund management philosophy we’ve held consistently across market cycles: disciplined diversification, active risk management, and a refusal to chase short-term noise. For our policyholders, that discipline means their money is managed with consistency and care, in every kind of market. We see this recognition as validation of that responsibility, not the end goal.”

— Harshad Patil, Chief Investment Officer, Tata AIA Life Insurance

Performance That Holds Up in Volatile Markets

2026 has been a bumpy year for Indian equities — elevated crude oil prices and shifting U.S. rate expectations have increased the volatility in the Indian equity market. Through it, Tata AIA‘s flagship funds have stayed ahead of their benchmarks:

How Tata AIA Delivers It

This performance reflects a consistent fund management approach built on:

  • Active portfolio construction across market caps and sectors.
  • Disciplined asset allocation and periodic rebalancing.
  • A long-term, goals-based approach focused on sustained compounding rather than short-term market movements.

What This Means for Long-Term Investors

Long-term wealth creation is about staying invested through market cycles. A hypothetical ₹10 lakh invested* in the Multi Cap Fund five years ago, based on its 15.83% CAGR, would be worth approximately ₹20.9 lakh today versus ₹16.6 lakh at the benchmark’s 10.67% CAGR—a gap of nearly ₹4.3 lakh.

Tata AIA‘s ULIPs combine long-term wealth creation with life insurance cover, helping investors build towards financial goals while protecting their families.

The Takeaway

Tata AIA‘s benchmark-beating performance and strong Morningstar ratings provide measurable evidence of its investment approach, while its ULIPs combine long-term wealth creation with protection.
