AI Automations for Business
AI Automations for Business is about making AI Simple, Fun & Accessible
AI automation is transforming the way we run businesses but staying up to date and knowing how to use it effectively can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in.
Join hosts Katie and Noel every week for a relaxed, no-jargon conversation about AI and automation for business.
We break down the latest updates, debunk myths, and make AI accessible, even if you're not tech-savvy.
If you’re a business owner looking to save time, streamline workflows, and stay ahead of the curve with AI, this podcast is for you.
You can also check out our Skool community, where we help you on your automation journey and show you the automations we talk about in action. You can check this out at: https://skool.com/ai-business-club
AI Automations for Business
S2. Ep15 - How to Build an AI Agent (Without Writing a Single Line of Code)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Think you need to be a developer to build an AI agent? Think again.
In this episode, Katie and Noel walk through exactly how to build a working AI agent from scratch using Make.com — no code, no JSON, no command line. They cover choosing the right no-code platform, planning your agent on paper first, structuring system prompts with clear roles and goals, and connecting business tools via MCP servers so you don't have to add 200 individual modules.
They also dig into Anthropic's latest Opus 4.7 leak, the Make.com Grid update, managed agents for Claude Code, and why Katie might be introducing a buzzer for future episodes to keep Noel from going too technical. Plus the golden rule: if you need a conversation, build an agent — if you need a repeatable output, build an automation.
