How to choose the right task for an AI agent

Do not build an agent where a prompt, rule or ordinary automation would be clearer.

  1. 01

    Map the current workflow

    Identify decisions, changing state, tools and repeated manual checks.

  2. 02

    Test agent fit

    Confirm the job needs bounded choices or iteration rather than one transformation.

  3. 03

    Score failure cost

    Start only where errors are visible, reversible and owned.
