The Agent Playbook: 30 Ready-to-Build AI Agent Blueprints

Agentic AI in Practice · Book 3

Stop collecting AI ideas. Start running AI agents in your business.

The Agent Playbook gives you 30 complete, tested designs for the agents small businesses and creators actually need. Each blueprint covers the trigger, the steps, the tools, the limits, the approval points and the tests, so you can build it this week instead of starting from a blank page.

What’s inside

• 30 blueprints in six areas: sales and customers, marketing and content, operations and admin, research and knowledge, finance and data, teams and solo business.
• The same ten sections in every blueprint: at a glance, the problem, what the agent does, the design, pattern, tools, instructions, guardrails, tests, and how to build and grow it.
• Two ways to build each one: a no-code path with automation platforms, and a code path for more control.
• Copy-ready instructions for every agent, plus a shared prompt skeleton.
• Guardrails built in: drafts instead of actions, limits enforced in code, and a person approving anything that matters.
• Five test cases per blueprint, so you know it works before it goes live.
• 33 diagrams showing exactly how each agent works.
• Five appendices: a blank blueprint template, a blueprint finder, a running cost worksheet, a prompt library and a glossary.

Agents you’ll be able to build include: a lead qualifier, support triage with reply drafts, an Instagram DM responder, a content repurposer, a newsletter writer, inbox triage, an invoice processor, a scheduling assistant, a company knowledge Q&A, a competitor monitor, a weekly business report, a cash-flow early warning, an internal helpdesk, a personal executive assistant, and a connected system where several agents work together.

Who it’s for: founders, solo creators, small teams, and operations, marketing and support people who want working agents, plus developers who want proven designs to start from. No programming needed for the no-code paths.

Format: PDF and Word, 165 pages, A4.
