<h3>Why I enrolled</h3>
<ol class="list-decimal ml-8"><li>Build foundational understanding of AI agent architecture and workflows through hands-on development. </li><li>Create a functional agent for personal productivity that I can continuously refine and use. </li><li>Identify specific opportunities to integrate AI agents into my product management processes, or explore potential product applications that could lead to measurable business impact.</li></ol>


 <h3>A breakthrough moment</h3>What were your key takeaways from this first week?
<ul>
<li>It's true what Dan said that you "vibe" with some agents more than others. I thought Zapier was so intuitive, easy to use, and reliable, whereas Lindy was confusing and frustrating to debug.</li>
</ul>
What was an ‘aha’ moment for you?
<ul>
<li>The integrations that each agent supports/connects with are just as important as the usability of the agents themselves. I wish Zapier had an integration with Perplexity for search, for example.</li>
</ul>
What did you enjoy most from this first week?
<ul>
<li>Working on the daily challenges and creating my own "women's sports digest" Zapier agent!</li>
</ul>
What do you want to dive deeper into or learn more about in the coming days and weeks?
<ul>
<li>I'd like to understand better how each tool or agent stacks up against one other in terms of features and use cases. Apart from the three tools we're learning in this bootcamp, what other alternatives would be good to experiment with? I've heard of Make.com, for example.</li>
</ul>


<h3>What I’ll apply</h3>
I'm excited to expand AI Agents into my personal life a bit more with more varied use cases. For work, I'm hoping that my company would be open to trying out any of these three tools and start incorporating it into my daily work. I already have some ideas in mind on how to make work less repetitive and more efficient, so hopefully I can use what I've learned here in the work setting.
