Episode notes

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. Previous Episodes Mentioned: S1.
