How Entrepreneurs Can Choose Their First AI Agent Task

AI agents are being used for tasks such as marketing, video editing, reporting and scriptwriting. The appeal is not simply automation: entrepreneurs may be able to spend less time on recurring work and more time running and growing their businesses.

A marketing campaign, for example, can involve research, scriptwriting, content production, editing, distribution and a review of results. Reports also require information to be gathered and checked before decisions are made. Each step may appear manageable, but together the work can take time away from other priorities.

An agent will not necessarily understand a business’s standards or know when to ask for input just because it has been assigned a task. Choosing a first assignment carefully matters: starting with a suitable, limited job may provide useful support, while trying to automate too much too quickly can create a new bottleneck.

The article’s accompanying video uses an example from the author’s work to discuss how to identify a worthwhile first task and distinguish an agent from a chatbot. It also points to a free AI Success Kit, available for a limited time, which includes a chapter from the author’s book, The Wolf is at The Door – How to Survive and Thrive in an AI-Driven World.
