One of the easiest ways to understand AI agents is to use one on yourself first.
So let’s start with a simple but powerful agent👇An AI agent that writes a LinkedIn post for you every day automatically.
🧠 What this agent does
- Takes a topic or idea
- Uses AI to write a LinkedIn-style post
- Saves it to Google Docs / Sheets
- Or sends it straight to you by email
No manual writing. No staring at a blank screen.
⚙️ How the agent works (simple breakdown)
Trigger:
- Scheduled trigger (once per day)
Steps:
- Zapier Schedule triggers the workflow daily
- AI by Zapier (or OpenAI) generates a LinkedIn post
- Output is sent to:
That’s it. One trigger, one AI action, one destination.
✍️ Example AI prompt used in the agent
“Write a short, engaging LinkedIn post for a professional audience about [TOPIC].Use a conversational tone, clear spacing, and end with a thoughtful question.”
You can swap the topic daily or pull it from a Google Sheet.
🎯 Why this agent is powerful
- Removes content friction
- Keeps you consistent on LinkedIn
- Can be reused for clients
- Teaches the core logic of AI agents
Once you understand this, you can build content, email, and lead agents easily.
🧪 Your task (important 👇)
- Build this agent
- Run it once
- Post a screenshot of your Zap or output in the comments
I’ll review a few and suggest improvements.
