Agent Use-Case Bible
An interactive catalog of real agentic use cases, plus playbooks and tool reviews you can adapt to your own workflows.
The spark
Most "AI agent use case" lists sound the same—booking travel, reserving restaurants, or simple research assistants. They're good demos but not very helpful when you're trying to design agents for your own workflows. I wanted a deeper, more practical catalog that could act as an advisor when I'm thinking about where agents actually fit.
What it is
- A large, structured catalog of agentic use cases, organized by job-to-be-done rather than by tool.
- Copyable playbooks that map each use case to concrete workflows, inputs, outputs, and guardrails.
- Cross-referenced reviews of tools like n8n, Zapier, Make, and Lindy, showing where each one shines or falls short for specific patterns.
Stack
- Long-form research and ideation in Markdown and Notion to collect and refine use cases.
- The main site's content system (Markdown/MDX pages) to expose the catalog in an interactive way.
- Links out to external tools and sandboxes for hands-on experimentation.
What I learned
- Patterns outlive tools. It's more valuable to get the use case and workflow right than to chase the latest automation platform.
- Starting with the job to be done makes it much easier to pick the right combination of agents, triggers, and guardrails.
- A well-structured catalog becomes a forcing function: it surfaces gaps in your own workflows and exposes where agents can create real leverage.
