Choosing the right work for an agent, mapping the workflow, writing system instructions, setting tools and permissions, human approval points, then testing and securing an agent before switching it on with your team.

This book is for you if

  • You are fluent with ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude and want repetitive work to run without typing a prompt every time.
  • You lead a team, run business operations, or are tasked with tidying office workflows.
  • You are curious about n8n, Make, or Zapier and want to add AI steps to them safely.
  • You write little or no code but want to understand APIs, MCP, and agent SDKs well enough to talk to developers.

It suits you less if

  • You have never used an AI tool. Start with The 5-Minute AI Starter Kit, then AI Literacy for Everyone.
  • You are not yet used to writing prompts. The Anatomy of Prompting lays the groundwork.
