A list of steps that tells a computer how to solve a problem.
Lesson #1: AI Foundations & the Agent Era →Think of it like…
A recipe for baking cookies.
Everyday example
A recipe card for chocolate-chip cookies — exact steps, in order.
Construction example
"If a lead calls, then schedule an appointment, then create an estimate."
Business example
The step-by-step rules a bank uses to approve or deny a loan application.
Why this matters
Every piece of software you use is following algorithms — AI just learns some of its own.
One-sentence summary
An algorithm is the step-by-step recipe a computer follows.
Try it yourself
Write a four-step 'recipe' for something you do daily — like making coffee or returning a customer call. You just wrote an algorithm.
