Getting the most out of your artificial intelligence (AI) tools is not as daunting as it sounds. AI agents already are independently managing a variety of supply chain operations, from finding suppliers to managing purchase orders to updating enterprise resources planning systems and more. AI agents can be programmed to handle simple assigned tasks or to orchestrate more complex solutions by determining what needs to happen and how to make it happen. But programming AI agents to do all of this does not need to be complicated.

Take this microlearning to learn what an AI agent is, how to pick tasks for your AI agent and the step-by-step directions for building your own AI agent. By the end of the microlearning, you’ll have your own AI agent running in draft mode on your purchase orders.

This microlearning is presented by Didero, a Stanford-founded technology company at the forefront of building advanced AI agents for supply chain and procurement. Their work focuses on automating complex, high-volume operations — giving them a unique, hands-on perspective on how agentic AI is being applied in real-world environments.
