Building and Testing Your First Agent

About half of developers now tinker with AI agents—yet most never let them touch real systems. You’re at your laptop: an “autonomous” script starts editing files on its own. Is that power… or chaos? In this episode, we turn that risky mystery into a controlled first experiment.

NVIDIA thinks nearly 30% of enterprise software will run on agents by 2028—and NASA already trusts rovers to handle about 95% of daily navigation without live human input. That gap between your first toy experiment and space-grade autonomy is exactly what we’ll start closing now.

In this episode, you’ll move from abstract interest to a working, testable agent. We’ll keep the scope tight: one clear goal, one simple environment, and a loop that can run hundreds of times without scaring you—or your production systems.
