  3. Prepare the technical setup

    Ensure environments, connectors, and data access are ready for immediate hands-on work.

  4. Build and refine through iteration

    Test prompts, adjust behavior, explore context options, and see how different tools shape the agent’s performance.

  5. Deploy a working version
