What is filed under AI Agents?

This category files posts about autonomous agents that take a goal, call tools over MCP, and complete multi-step work in n8n or ChatGPT without a human clicking every stage. You will find operations, sales, and support agents, plus the guardrails that keep them from inventing answers. Will Spurlock writes from production setups: when an agent beats a plain automation, how to start read-only, and how to hand work back to a person. Coverage includes first-server setup, inbound lead handling, and overnight jobs that still need an audit trail. If you want the agents-only shelf, this is that collection.
