AI Agents, Explained

​Wednesday, October 7, 11:00 AM to 12:15 PM Eastern. Online, free, with time for your questions.

​"AI agents" is everywhere right now, and almost none of it is in plain English. This is the straight version, for small-business owners who want a real answer instead of a sales pitch: what are they, what are they good for, and what should you actually do about it?

​One focused hour on Google Meet:

• ​Why most people are stuck in the "chatbox," and what an agent actually is (AI with hands: it opens files, uses tools, and does the task instead of just answering)

• ​Three honest examples: what this does well for a business like yours, and where it falls flat

• ​Privacy and trust, in plain terms: what these companies do and don't train on, the settings that matter, and what you should never paste into one

• ​One live demo of a real small-business task, start to finish

• ​The one sensible thing to try this week if you decide it's worth your time

​I'm Dan Bates. I run a web studio here in Staunton, Virginia, and I rebuilt how it runs around these tools. Every example is something I actually use in my own work week. None of it is theoretical.

​You'll leave knowing what's real, what's hype, and one task you could hand to an assistant this week.

​And if you want the next step: the following Wednesday, October 14, I run Fewer Prompts, Better Answers, a free demo session where you watch a working tool get built live and take it home with you. Register for both if you like; neither assumes the other. It's at danbates.ai/free.

​Free, and seats are limited. Register to hold yours.
