What you’ll build
A small autonomous agent that does one repeating job for you on a schedule.
Step-by-step
- 1
Pick one boring repeating task (daily summary, price check, reminder).
- 2
Write the instruction as a single clear goal.
- 3
Give it one tool (web search or a calendar).
- 4
Run it once and read the output.
- 5
Tighten the instruction until the output is useful.
- 6
Schedule it to run daily.
Common errors & fixes
Agent does too much
Shrink the goal to one job. Agents are better narrow.
Output is messy
Tell the agent the exact format you want the result in.
Jeet’s notes
After this, the 16-agent local-leads build feels like the same idea, just bigger.
