> From single tasks to systems that run themselves

Build automations and agentic tooling. Compare n8n, Zapier and Trigger.dev, automate the browser with Playwright, run code safely in sandboxes, build your own AI tools on top of APIs, and design human-in-the-loop systems.

## Lessons

### 4.1 Workflow Automation: n8n, Zapier and Trigger.dev - What to Use When

- Canonical URL: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/workflow-automation-n8n-zapier-and-trigger-dev-what-to-use-when
- Markdown: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/workflow-automation-n8n-zapier-and-trigger-dev-what-to-use-when.md

Choose the right automation platform for a job and generate workflow JSON with your agent

### 4.2 Browser Automation and Scraping: Playwright, Browser Use and the .har Trick

- Canonical URL: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/browser-automation-and-scraping-playwright-browser-use-and-the-har-trick
- Markdown: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/browser-automation-and-scraping-playwright-browser-use-and-the-har-trick.md

Automate and scrape the web reliably with Playwright, including the non-headless manual-login trick and the .har trick

### 4.3 Sandboxes: Safe Code Execution with E2B, Daytona and Co.

- Markdown: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/sandboxes-safe-code-execution-with-e2b-daytona-and-co.md

Run agent-generated and untrusted code safely in isolated, disposable sandboxes instead of on your own machine

### 4.4 Building Your Own AI Tools with APIs

- Markdown: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/building-your-own-ai-tools-with-apis.md

Build custom AI tools on top of model APIs, including image-to-structured-data workflows, instead of buying SaaS

### 4.5 Email, Lead Magnets and Funnels: Capture and Nurture

- Canonical URL: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/email-lead-magnets-and-funnels-capture-and-nurture
- Markdown: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/email-lead-magnets-and-funnels-capture-and-nurture.md

Capture leads with magnets and forms and nurture them through email funnels, while staying legally compliant

### 4.6 Human in the Loop: Continuous Learning Systems

- Canonical URL: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/human-in-the-loop-continuous-learning-systems
- Markdown: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/human-in-the-loop-continuous-learning-systems.md

Design systems where humans approve at the right checkpoints and every mistake becomes a rule the system learns from

### 4.7 The 5 Levels of LLM Autonomy

- Markdown: https://agenticschool.dev/courses/automation-agentic-systems/the-5-levels-of-llm-autonomy.md

Place any agentic system on a five-level autonomy scale, see why validation is the real blocker, and climb a level safely
