Your First AI Agent: Deciding What to Delegate

This hands?on workshop helps you identify which repetitive tasks in your business are ready for AI automation and guides you through building your first simple AI agent, step by step.
Led by Sara Norton of Reply All, this session focuses on smart decision?making first, then practical setup, so you’re using AI intentionally, not randomly.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- What an AI agent is (explained in plain language)
- How to spot repetitive, time?draining tasks that are ideal for AI
- Which tasks you shouldn’t delegate to AI
- A clear decision framework to choose the right tasks for automation
- How to think about risk, accuracy, and oversight when delegating to AI
- How to build a simple, working AI agent you can actually use
- Real?world examples relevant to small business owners
You’ll walk through the process together and see a working example in action.
This workshop is ideal for:
- Small business owners who feel stretched thin
- Entrepreneurs already using AI but only at a surface level
- Business owners curious about automation but unsure where to start
