Thank you for the post! As an ex-finance person starting to learn about building my own agentic workflows this post was great and inspiring. I absolutely agree with your point about systems can now adopt to you but I think there is still a pretty steep learning curve for finance people who are often time poor and energy drained. One example - when I attempted building my agentic workflow I struggled with converting my email content into machine readable data. I think this is one of the skills you need to build good AI workflows. Do you have any tips for non-developer people to learn these skills more quickly?
Thanks for reading! I agree that there is a learning curve and that for busy professionals its a challenge to learn new things while on a tight schedule. While i do think there is immense value in committing time to really learn the groundworks of building agents, im also optimistic in that we will see increasingly more companies producing more intuitive agent building platforms that make it easy for non-technical persons to build agent workflows themselves. In the meantime, the best way to learning is starting out with simple, one agent workflow tasks (instead of multi agents like mine) that will help automate or augment a single process you deal with every day. Utilizing resources like my content or claude / chatgpt to supplement your learning will be super helpful too. In the end, for busy professionals, they will need someone to show them whats possible with AI and thats what early adapters are there to do!

Also looking forward to reading your follow-up series on how you built these agents
