Building your first AI agent: from a repetitive task to production in one day

Your first AI agent, from a repetitive task to production in one working day: the workflow-vs-agent decision, a task-selection grid, the 40-line agent loop in Python, the system prompt as a job description, guardrails before intelligence (turn and spend caps, approval levels, quotas, logging), a five-case test protocol, Slack exposure, and a fully costed lead-qualification example.

English version being generated — the full French guide is available by switching language.
