Hands-on AI automation training for teams in Sri Lanka: Make.com, Zapier and n8n workflows, your first agent with tools and memory, guardrails and human-in-the-loop, and MCP for connecting AI to your systems. No code required.
Cocoon's AI agents and automation training in Sri Lanka teaches teams to move from using AI in a chat window to running it inside their workflows: triggers and actions in Make.com, Zapier and n8n, a first end-to-end automation built in the session, then an agent with tools and memory, the guardrails that keep it safe, and MCP for connecting a model to real systems and data. Built on Cocoon's Automation Lab, Agent Lab and API Lab, delivered in person in Colombo or online across Sri Lanka.
What’s covered
Eight modules, every one of them exercise-led on work from your own organisation. Half-day formats cover the first four; full days and cohorts cover all eight.
A chatbot waits for a prompt; an agent has a goal, tools and a loop. Where the line sits, and why most 'agents' on sale are neither.
Mapping a workflow before automating it. The step that should be AI, the steps that should stay rules, and the one that should stay human.
The same automation built in all three. Pricing, limits, and which one fits a team in Sri Lanka that does not want to maintain servers.
Built in the room, end to end: a trigger, an AI step, an action into a tool you already use. It runs before you leave.
Cocoon's Agent Lab: run an agent missing one component, watch it fail, switch the component on. Six levels, five failures, all instructive.
Approval steps, spending caps, what to log, and how an agent fails safely when the model is wrong.
Cocoon's API Lab on a live feed: send a real request, read the JSON, earn your first 401, then hand the same API to an agent through MCP.
A scoring rubric — frequency, variance, cost of error — applied to your own process list. The honest answer is often 'not yet'.
Tools used in the session
Who it’s for
The people who know where the repetitive work lives, and want it gone without a six-month IT project.
Lead routing, enrichment, follow-ups, reporting — the workflows where automation pays back in weeks.
Technical enough to go faster; the MCP and API sessions go deeper on request.
Where one person doing the work of three is the business model, and automation is the difference.
Cocoon is based in Colombo and has delivered AI training across 35+ industries in Sri Lanka — BPO and shared-services floors, banks and finance companies, apparel and manufacturing, tourism, tea and agriculture, education. The pattern is the same everywhere: the teams that learned to use AI on their own work in the first year are now the ones setting the pace. Sri Lanka's cost position makes AI adoption a lever rather than a threat for export-facing businesses, and the national push on digital skills — ICTA programmes, university initiatives, the growth of Colombo's startup scene — means the demand for practical, non-academic training has outrun supply.
Where we run it
The exercises change with the industry. These are the sectors where Cocoon runs AI agents and automation training most often in Sri Lanka.
Colombo's largest employers and the fastest adopters; daily-workflow AI for delivery and support teams.
Analysis, reporting and customer communication with the data controls the sector requires.
Planning, quality documentation, supplier communication and the operations workflows behind them.
Guest communication, content, forecasting and the multilingual work the sector runs on.
Market research, buyer communication and reporting for businesses selling to the world.
Institutions and agencies building AI literacy at scale, often with Cocoon's free labs.
Cocoon quotes in LKR or USD, per workshop rather than per head for corporate formats, and publishes what each format includes. There is no government subsidy scheme for private AI training in Sri Lanka at present; many organisations fund it from L&D budgets or as part of a digital-transformation programme. Cocoon's AI for Students programme is free, as a CSR commitment, and the labs and tools on this site are free for anyone.
