Your First Agent: Run One, Small, First
The previous article covered the kinds of agents. Here we guide you to actually pick one and run just one low-risk task. Screens and names differ by product, but the flow is mostly common. The key: don't delegate important work right away.
What to Prepare
- An account for the AI you'll use (see the previous "account creation" article if needed)
- Many agent features are on paid/upper plans. A payment method (pricing/terms change—check official)
- One low-risk task to try (pick from below)
The Common Flow (Nearly the Same for Any Agent)
- Enable: turn on the agent / Cowork / Computer Use feature in the service
- Grant permissions: if asked for browser/PC control, allow only the needed scope (an OS permission dialog may appear)
