AI Agent for Productivity | Build Better AI Agents for Everyday Work

Ready to build your own personal assistant? 📌 https://bit.ly/4oRI9d9 Are constant Slack messages and emails derailing your focus? You need an AI Agent to capture ad hoc requests and automatically turn them into scheduled, actionable tasks. Join Emily Mabie, Zapier's Senior AI Automation Engineer, for a live, step-by-step build of the To-Do Task AI Agent - our most popular internal productivity agent. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the building blocks to: 🤖 Build from Scratch: Define your goal (the "when blank, then blank" method) and equip your agent with the tools it needs (Slack, Google Calendar, etc.). 🧠 Inferential Logic: Teach the agent to analyze messages, estimate task time, and use logic to find free time slots on your calendar (the difference between a simple to-do list and a time-blocking assistant). 🛠️ Up-Leveling: Learn how to debug, improve reliability, and adapt the agent to ingest full Slack threads for complete context. ⚖️ Agents vs. Workflows: Understand the difference between high-risk, deterministic workflows and decision-making, inferential agents. Leave this session with a fully functional agent that starts saving you hours of manual coordination immediately.
