Most people get stuck because they start building too fast.
They open Cursor, Claude Code, n8n, Make, or Python…
But they have no clear workflow.
So today’s resource is simple:
Use this template before building any AI agent, automation, or vibe-coded app.
AI Workflow Planning Template
Answer these 9 questions:
- What problem am I solving?
- Who will use this?
- What triggers the workflow?
- What input does it receive?
- What should happen automatically?
- Where does AI help?
- Does it need a dashboard or app?
- What output should it produce?
- When should a human review it?
Example
Workflow: Student support assistant
Trigger: Student asks a question
Input: Question + course module name
Automation: Save the question and notify instructor
AI: Draft a helpful answer
App: Simple dashboard for open questions
Human review: Before final reply
This can become:
An automation.
An AI agent.
A small vibe-coded tool.
Or all three together.
That is how real AI workflows are built.
Not by chasing tools.
By designing the workflow first.
