PlainAgent

PlainAgent is a free guide site under Starbase, aimed at beginners who want to build their first AI agent or chatbot. It offers step-by-step tutorials, spec sheet templates, and a free planner, with no coding required at any point. The content follows the order of seven decisions: first choose a task, the tools and accounts needed, then build, test, and launch safely. The site also provides starter recipes (such as organizing invoices into a spreadsheet or generating drafts of customer support replies) and various templates, each of which includes the task, trigger conditions, inputs, tools, rules, a copyable system prompt, and what needs to be tested, and can be used in any build tool. In addition, it explains the difference between AI agents and chatbots: a chatbot's endpoint is giving an answer, while an agent's endpoint is taking an action in another app, and it recommends building a fixed workflow first if the steps can be written out clearly in order, using an agent only when the next step depends on what the model discovers.
