Building AI Assistants and Agents Without Coding training in NeuchâtelDesigning an AI Assistant: What Level of Autonomy Should You Target?

Should you let an AI agent propose, decide, or execute? The question is not new: research on automation levels offers a proven decision grid.

A Delegation Scale

Raja Parasuraman, Thomas Sheridan and Christopher Wickens (2000, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics) proposed a ten-level scale, ranging from minimal assistance to full autonomy, applied to four functions: acquire information, analyze it, decide, act. Parasuraman, Sheridan & Wickens, 2000

The Right Level Depends on the Consequences

The authors emphasize that the appropriate level varies depending on task criticality: the more costly or irreversible an error, the more decision-making and action must remain under direct human control. Full automation is justified mainly for reversible and well-defined tasks.

What This Changes for a No-Code Agent

An assistant configured by a non-technical colleague inherits the same trade-offs. Defining an agent's mission means explicitly choosing its autonomy levels for each function: search and summarize, yes; validate and send, not necessarily. (our executive and employee training programmes)

The Limits of Enthusiastic Prototypes

A prototype that 'works' in a demonstration has not yet encountered edge cases. Without a testing phase on difficult examples — missing information, ambiguous instructions — deployment turns users into unwilling testers.

A Practical Implication, Verifiable in Geneva

In a team spanning microtechnology, watchmaking and applied research laboratories, describe the first agent on a one-page sheet: mission, authorized sources, autonomy level per function, person who validates before sending. Then test on ten real cases, including three deliberately difficult ones, before any deployment. An AI Training in Neuchâtel structures this no-code framework.
