Most teams start too big. The best first task for an AI agent is boring, repeated and easy to check.
1. Pick the task
- It happens every day or week
- It follows the same steps
- A mistake is easy to spot and undo
2. Write the brief
Write it like you would for a new hire: what to do, which tools to use, and when to ask.
Every morning, answer new support tickets. Refunds over $200 need my OK.
3. Watch for two weeks
Read the run history, fix the brief where it goes wrong, then hand off the next task.
