Build Your First AI Agent in 30 Minutes (No Code)
A step-by-step guide to building a working AI agent using Make (no code) and Claude, without any prior AI experience.
1What you will build
A content research agent that: takes a topic as input, searches the web for top articles, summarizes findings via Claude, and emails you the brief — fully automated on a schedule.
2Step 1: Set up Make
Sign up at make.com (free tier works). Create a new Scenario. Add a Schedule trigger — set it to run daily at 9 AM.
3Step 2: Add a web search module
Use the HTTP module to call the FireCrawl Search API. Pass in your topic as the query. The response will contain top results with full page content.
4Step 3: Summarize with Claude
Add an HTTP module for the Anthropic API. Pass the FireCrawl output as context. Prompt Claude to summarize into 5 key points with actionable insights.
5Step 4: Send the email
Add an Email module (or Gmail). Set the recipient to your email. Map Claude's output as the email body. Activate the scenario and run it once to test.
6Next steps
Add a Slack notification module. Add a Google Sheets logger. Expand to 5 topics and run in parallel. Add a "save to Notion" step for knowledge management.
