AI agents are changing what’s possible for small businesses, but most of what’s written about them is aimed at developers.
This Lunch and Learn, led by Jess Carlin, gives you a practical framework for understanding where agents can save you time, where they need human oversight, and how to start without overcomplicating your operations.
Topics covered in this session
- What an AI agent actually is and how it differs from a chatbot or a basic automation, so you can work out what applies to your business and what doesn’t
- The Ladder of Autonomy, a four-rung framework for thinking about how much decision-making to hand to an AI system and how to use it to map your own workflows before touching any tools
- Which tasks are good candidates for AI delegation, which still need a human in the loop, and how to identify the right starting point so you build something that works instead of something that breaks
