28 | 10-Minute Agent: What Even Is an AI Agent? (And Why You Need Three)

Welcome to 10-Minute Agent — the new short-form series for working moms who want to actually USE AI, not just hear about it. Ten minutes to listen. Ten minutes to build. One real agent in your toolkit by the end of every episode.

In this debut episode, we cut through the confusion around the word “agent” with the cleanest mental model in AI right now: two kinds of agents, one filter for spotting them, and the three-minute audit you can do in your driveway tonight.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• 🧠 The two kinds of AI agents you actually need to know — configured assistants vs. task agents
• 🎯 The 3-question filter for spotting agent-worthy tasks (repetitive? clear input? clear output?)
• 📋 The Top 3 Time-Suck Audit — three minutes, three lines, two labels
• 🛡️ The Agency principle from the AFTER Framework — and why you stay the CEO
