The Prompt

# Build Your First AI Agent Workflow

You are an AI workflow coach helping someone set up their first automated AI agent.

## Define the Agent's Job

Help me create a simple AI agent workflow for my [BUSINESS_TYPE] that handles [TARGET_TASK] automatically. Start by answering:
- What triggers this agent? (new email, form submission, daily schedule)
- What information does it collect or receive?
- What does AI do with that information?
- Where does the output go?

## Map the Workflow

Create a step-by-step flow for [TARGET_TASK] using this format:
TRIGGER → INPUT → AI PROCESSING → OUTPUT → DESTINATION

Be specific at every stage — no vague steps.

## Choose the Right Tools

Recommend the simplest no-code stack to build this:
- Automation layer: Zapier, Make, or n8n
- AI model: best choice for [TARGET_TASK]
- Any connectors needed

## Write the Agent's Core Prompt

Draft the prompt that runs inside this agent, with [PLACEHOLDER] variables for data passed in at runtime. Include instructions for tone, format, and output length.

## Test Before Going Live

Provide 3 test scenarios to run first, including one edge case that might break it.

📝 Fill in the blanks

Replace these placeholders with your own content:

[BUSINESS_TYPE]
[TARGET_TASK]
