How to build your first secure AI agent (no coding)

The most common mistake is not technical: starting without boundaries or context. A useful agent starts with one clear function and clear rules.

Starter checklist

• Define one measurable goal (e.g., reduce response time).
• Limit agent scope (what it does and does not do).
• Add a human review layer for sensitive decisions.
• Track outcomes weekly and adjust instructions/context.
