Building your own AI Agents: Reviewing the best strategy to make early gains by developing in-house capability to create AI agents.

A 30-Day Plan to Start Building In-House AI Capability

Most AI investments promise a lot. Few deliver without spiralling costs, long contracts, and vendor lock-ins. At your last board meeting, the talk was all about AI. But the question remains: where do you start, and who do you trust? This guide shows you a smarter way forward: training your own team to build AI agents in-house.

⚠️ The Problem With Outsourced AI Platforms

High usage costs: Token-based pricing means small usage turns expensive fast.
Locked-in systems: You can't adjust core logic or branding—you're stuck with their tools.
Disruption risk: Leaving these platforms means rebuilding from scratch.
Security concerns: Sensitive data is exposed to third-party services, often offshore.
