AI Agents for Non-Coders: Put a Team of Digital Workers to Work Without Writing Code (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798190043686)

Here is the number nobody selling you an AI agent will mention.

Frontier models score 80 to 90 percent on single-step tasks. On sustained multi-step work that crosses applications, they score around 18 to 24 percent. On a benchmark built from real investment-banking, consulting and legal work, the leading model completes about one task in four. A large study of live production agents put the aggregate success rate near 56 percent.

Errors compound. At 85 percent reliability per step, a ten-step chain succeeds roughly one time in five.

That single fact inverts everything the market is selling. The autonomous digital employee running twenty steps unattended is exactly the design that fails - and it is the design being sold.

This book teaches the opposite: short chains of three to five steps, a human at every decision with real consequences, and each step independently verifiable. Not a beginner's compromise. The actual engineering.

You will get the agent-versus-automation decision framework (most people reach for an agent when a cheaper automation would be more reliable), a complete first build you can finish in an afternoon, the named failure modes including prompt injection, what these genuinely cost to run, and a 30-day plan.

No autonomy promised. No employees replaced. Every figure cited.
