Why AI Agents > AI Tools (and how to build one today)

Remember the first mobile phones?

Not the antenna-power-station kind, but those ugly bricks that got everyone hyped.

"Wait, I can text someone from outside my house and they’ll actually get it?"

Adorable, right? Those early mobile features were just the appetizer.

Now we do EVERYTHING on our phones (impulse-buying banana slicers at 3AM)

The First Wave Of Technology Is Exciting But Rarely Practical

This is exactly where we are with AI.

Sure, ChatGPT has saved your butt before – like crafting responses to passive-aggressive client emails without losing it.

But is that it?

I thought these things were supposed to take over our jobs or something?

The truth is: 90% of AI tools right now are USELESS for any real business application.

Generating a flamingo riding a bicycle is cool, but does NOTHING for your bottom line.

The Real AI Business Applications

AI Agents don't just suggest stuff – they DO stuff for you.

Think of them as Automations on steroids.

They have a brain and can make decisions based on your instructions.

Right now, 100’s of businesses are quietly scaling EVERYTHING using these AI Agents.

This is how you skip new hires and keep more cash in your pocket.

Start Building Your First AI Agent Today

The good news? Building this requires almost zero technical experience.

When websites first appeared, you needed to be a developer to create something half-decent.

But I'm confident I could teach your grandma to set up her first AI Agent in about 20 minutes.

Send her this:

Step 1: Think about what can be replaced

Before getting overwhelmed, make a list of all the manual and low-skill tasks in your business:

• Customer support

• Cold messaging/outreach

• File digging

• Drafting blogs

• Data entry

• Reposting content on social

• Market research

• Inbox triage

• Basic analytics reporting

Add things you don't even think AI can do (you might be surprised).

Step 2: Create a Make or n8n account

These 2 AI Agent builders are state-of-the-art.

Go with Make.com if you're a true beginner or want a free account.

N8n is slightly better overall but a bit more advanced.

Don't get intimidated – NONE of this requires coding skills.

Step 3: Use a Template to start

Browse the templates already available on these platforms.

Chances are, they have one that fits at least a few items on your list.

You might need a quick guide on how these platforms work, which I'll cover in future newsletters.

But here’s the thing—most of the heavy lifting is already done for you with templates.

Try building your first AI agent today, automate something small, and see how fast it compounds.

This isn’t about convenience. It’s about getting ahead.
