Lessons Learned After 6 Months of Building AI Agents as a Non-Programmer
Lessons Learned After 6 Months of Building AI Agents as a Non-Programmer (without the hype)šØāš»
I just released a 43-minute deep dive on YouTube, breaking down what Iāve learned, the mistakes Iāve made, and cutting through the AI agent hype to share real insights on building AI systemsāwithout a coding background.
Itās a crazy time weāre living in. The barrier to entry for AI automation has never been lower, and no-code tools like n8n let anyone build AI-powered workflows faster than ever.
š§ Here are the 7 key lessons Iāve learned:
1ļøā£ Build workflows first before jumping into AI agents. Many problems can be solved with simple rule-based automation.
2ļøā£ Always wireframe before building. Skipping this step is like trying to solve a puzzle without seeing the picture.
3ļøā£ Context is everything. AI performance depends on predefined logic, user context, and real-time data.
4ļøā£ Know when NOT to use a vector database. They arenāt magic, and structured data is often better suited for relational databases.
5ļøā£ Prompting AI agents is an art. Write your own prompts and refine them reactivelyādonāt rely on auto-generated prompts.
6ļøā£ Scaling AI agents is a nightmare. A few hallucinations may not matter for one user, but at scale, they become huge problems.
7ļøā£ No-code tools like n8n are powerful, but they have limits. Theyāre great for MVPs and internal automations, but scaling sometimes requires a hybrid approach with custom code.
