Five-step guide to building your first AI agent in an afternoon
A five-step tutorial: pick a repetitive task, give the agent tools, add a Jev decision layer to cut the cost of small calls, set a human checkpoint before sending, then run and tighten it.
'm genuinely shocked this is FREE YOU CAN BUILD YOUR FIRST AI AGENT IN ONE AFTERNOON. FOR FREE. My first one took me two weeks. This guide gets you there in a few hours: Step 1: Pick one boring task you repeat every week. Step 2: Give the agent tools: read files, search, send a draft. Step 3: Add a Jev decision layer, so the small calls (which tool, which file, done or not) cost a fraction of a cent. Step 4: Put a human checkpoint before anything that sends, deletes or pays. Step 5: Run it, watch it, tighten it. One builder with this setup ships like a small team. Full guide below. Bookmark it.
