PERSONAL AGENT FIELD NOTES
Start your personal agent with one small workflow.
Make your first experiment specific, reviewable, and easy to repeat.
Pick something familiar
Choose a small task you already know how to do: comparing three links, organizing a few notes, or drafting a daily brief. That makes the result easier to judge.
Give it a finish line
Specify the input, the output, and the point where the agent should stop and ask you. Keep the first attempt small enough to review in a few minutes.
Keep the sources
Ask for links or file references alongside the result. A useful workflow should make it easy to inspect where its claims came from.
Improve one thing at a time
After the first attempt, change the instruction that caused the most friction. Once the steps are useful and repeatable, consider packaging them into a skill.
