Agents · GuideAn AI agent is not a program you have to write. It is a hire. You explain the job once, and it does that job every day without you.
This is how I built an agent that sends me the best AI launches from Product Hunt every day, at the hour I picked, already analysed. You are about to build the same thing in a few minutes.
What you need before you start
- A Claude account on platform.claude.com
- A small amount of API credit, since every run your agent does costs money
- 10 free minutes. No coding knowledge required
6 steps to your first agent
Go to platform.claude.com and log in with your Claude account. If you do not have one, signing up takes a minute.
In the left menu, click Managed agents. This is where all your agents get built and live.
A list of ready made agents opens. If one of them is close to your task, pick it and move on. This is the fastest route.
On the same page there is a field where you type what you want your agent to do. No jargon, no code. You hit send and wait a few minutes.
- Claude writes the code, the setup and the data itself
- You only read and approve
From there Claude guides you through the rest, one stage at a time: which tools to connect, which permissions to grant, how to test it. One decision per screen, no more.
The step that matters most: tell it when to run. Pick the day and the time, confirm, and your agent starts working on its own. From this point you do nothing.
Every day, check Product Hunt for new AI related product launches.
Pick the 5 strongest ones and for each one give me:
- the name and the link
- what problem it solves, in one sentence
- who it is useful for
- whether it is worth attention for someone working in AI education
Send the result to my email as a short list, no filler.Quick summary
- Claude Console, then Managed agents, then Quickstart. Three clicks.
- Describe your agent in plain words. Claude writes the code.
- Set the schedule and forget it. Your agent runs without you.
