How to build agentic workflows for business

A guide designed for business professionals

Includes workbook with practical exercises

Most people use AI as a chat tool. They open a window, ask a question, get an answer, and move on. It’s a manual way of working, often involving copy-pasting text or code between the LLM and other systems. That already saves time, but is not yet a new way of working.

The promise of AI agents is that they can act with a level of autonomy and handle tasks directly, instead of humans manually moving information around.

Instead of treating AI like a helpful chatbot, you start treating it like a virtual coworker that can follow instructions, work through your material, use tools, and help move your work forward across multiple steps.

This guide is for business professionals who want to take advantage of this agentic shift in their work without having to become technical specialists.
