# AI agent playbooks: 24 jobs to hand your agent

Two dozen jobs worth delegating, each with a brief to paste, the order the agent works in and the rules that keep it on course.

A capable agent is wasted on vague requests. Each playbook here sets out one job in full: the brief to paste, the order in which the agent works through it, the guardrails to add to your rule sheet and what you should hold at the end. They are grouped by area of life, and each names the agents that suit it, from those built for the job to those that manage with some setup. Begin with a low-stakes one and work upwards.
