A practical catalogue · latest addition
What people actually use AI agents for
Agentguiden is a catalogue of concrete examples, with an English edition of every page. Each example names the tool, the steps and a prompt you can adapt. We do not invent sources, quotes or figures.
Five agents a day is a short daily email with five concrete examples.
Examples about tax, NAV, Altinn and bookkeeping are ways of working, not advice from the authorities or an accountant.
