20 AI Agents That Pay for Themselves
Build the AI agents and recurring routines that save a business money from the first week, in Claude or ChatGPT. No tech skills needed.
Most businesses use AI like a search box: ask a question, copy the answer, start over tomorrow. This book shows you how to turn it into staff. Each of the 20 agents comes with the exact instructions to paste, the files to give it, the schedule to put it on, and the math on what it saves, so you know which ones to build first.

The 20 agents
About 110 hours a month, if you built them all.
That's roughly $5,660 a month, priced at what each job's usual role costs (BLS median pay plus benefits), with review time already subtracted. You won't build all 20. Start with the three that fit where your week goes.

Example
What every agent looks like
Before: 45 minutes a day reading, sorting and answering routine email. After: 15 minutes reviewing the summary and sending drafts. 30 minutes × 20 workdays = 10 hours a month × $53 = $530/month, at an executive assistant's median pay plus benefits.
“Triage my inbox and draft routine replies. Read emails received in the last 24 hours. Sort into Needs me today, Can wait, Ignore. Flag anything about money, contracts or deadlines. Draft replies to routine emails. Never send an email or delete anything.”
