Alright so like a year ago I was exactly where most of you probably are right now - knew ChatGPT was cool, heard about "AI agents" everywhere, but had zero clue how to actually build one that does real stuff. After building like 15 different agents (some failed spectacularly lol), here's the exact path I wish someone told me from day one: Step 1: Stop overthinking the tech stack Everyone obsesses over LangChain vs CrewAI vs whatever. Just pick one and stick with it for your first agent. I started with n8n because it's visual and you can see what's happening. Step 2: Build something stupidly simple first My first "agent" literally just: Monitored my email Found receipts Added them to a Google Sheet Sent me a Slack message when done Took like 3 hours, felt like magic. Don't try to build Ja...
