How to Build an AI Agent

Before development begins, define the agent’s task, how to check its work, and when it must stop

Turn an AI automation idea into a minimal single-agent design in five lessons. Define the task and its steps, then work through the architecture, evaluation, and safety limits. Create and revise an MVP design card for discussion and review before development begins.

适合人群

  • Product managers and business leaders who have used language models and are preparing to design AI features
  • Founders who want to develop a clear agent proposal before talking with developers
  • Developers familiar with models and tool calls who need a framework for designing the whole system

解决的问题

  • You are unsure whether a task needs a model call, a fixed workflow, or an agent
  • Requirements amount to feature names such as “smart support,” with no clear actions or completion criteria
  • Your design works as a demo but lacks evaluation, permission limits, or a plan for human intervention

学完收获

  • Choose a system structure based on whether the task requires decisions to adapt as new information arrives
  • Define goals, inputs, permitted actions, completion evidence and stop conditions
  • Use a seven-layer architecture to check who or what handles models, data, task execution, system operation, and business integration
  • Define measurable indicators and controls covering outcomes, process, cost, and risk
  • Find the most important gap in your plan and revise your agent MVP design card

课程亮点

  • Follow one small task, screening online-course refund requests, throughout all five lessons
  • Design and revise a proposal before development; the course does not include coding or deployment
  • Compare the initial and revised plans to see changes in task behavior and risk controls
  • Decide whether remaining gaps call for more design work, a prototype, or an approach without an agent

Lesson 1: Decide Whether Your Idea Needs an AI Agent

Choose the least complex suitable structure—a single model call, deterministic workflow, single agent, or multi-agent system—by determining whether the task must change its next step in response to the environment.

Lesson 2: Turn a Vague Idea into a Clear Agent Task

Narrow a vague AI automation wish into a single-agent task that can be executed, verified, and controlled.

Lesson 3: Design an Agent MVP with the Seven-Layer Architecture

Derive the minimum responsibility of each layer in a seven-layer architecture from a bounded Agent execution loop.

Lesson 4: Make the Agent Measurable, Observable, and Controllable

Derive recordable metrics and controls for a single-agent MVP from its completion evidence and risk paths.

Lesson 5: Review and Revise Your Agent MVP

Use six standards to find the structural gap with the greatest effect on an Agent MVP and complete one observable, substantive revision.
