Building AI Agents: A Proven Process

In this episode of the AI Explored podcast, Michael Stelzner interviews Sara Davison, co-founder of AI Build Lab, about AI agents and how businesses can deploy them effectively. Sara distinguishes AI agents from AI assistants, emphasizing the autonomy of agents to reason, plan, and execute tasks. She highlights the importance of understanding existing workflows before implementing AI agents and the concept of "evolution, not revolution," to build trust and reliability. Sara shares an example of DocGen, an agentic team for document generation, and discusses the role of an orchestrator agent in managing tasks. The conversation also covers quality control, the necessity of a human in the loop, and the maintenance required for AI agent systems, recommending tools like TypingMind and Cassidy AI for MVP testing.
