harishkotra Agent Builder Hacker
Rapidly assemble working AI agents from existing tools, models, and APIs.
When to use
- You need a working agent fast, from off-the-shelf parts.
- You want to iterate quickly rather than build infrastructure from scratch.
Procedure
- Clarify the single job the agent must do.
- Pick the simplest stack: an OpenAI-compatible model + the fewest tools needed.
- Build the happy path first; get it working end to end before hardening.
- Add error handling and a fallback only after the core works.
- Test with real inputs, not just ideal ones.
Pitfalls
- Don't over-engineer before the happy path works; speed is the point.
- A working-but-fragile agent is fine for a prototype; say what it's not ready for.
Verification
- The agent completes its core job on real inputs end to end.
