AI agent tutorials
Practical how-to guides for setting up, configuring, debugging, and running AI agents in 2026. Every guide is tested. Every guide is short. Most apply to any AI agent platform; some are Gravity-specific and marked.
How to Roll Back an AI Agent's Action
"Roll back the agent's action" is not one operation. It is four operations, each appropriate for a different tier of action. Treating all rollbacks as equal leads to over-engineered Tier 1 actions and…

Code fails loudly. An exception is thrown, the process crashes, the error reaches the dashboard, the operator gets an alert. AI agents fail differently. The agent picks a wrong interpretation, takes a wrong action,…
How to Migrate from Zapier to an AI Agent (Without Breaking Anything)
Zapier and AI agents solve overlapping problems with different mental models. Zapier is trigger-step-action: a fixed pipeline that runs the same way every time. AI agents are outcome-driven: the agent picks the…
How to Limit What an AI Agent Can Do (Blast Radius Control)
An agent that fails small is a fixable problem. An agent that fails catastrophically is a customer-trust event, a financial loss, or both. The difference is blast-radius control: the set of limits that bound what the…
How to Give an AI Agent Access to Your Email Safely
Email is the master credential. Most accounts route password resets through it; many financial accounts treat email-confirmed-this as proof of identity. Granting an AI agent access to email is the most consequential…
How to Debug an AI Agent That Did the Wrong Thing
