🤖 AI Agents

Definition

Software programs that perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions autonomously to complete multi-step tasks.

What makes it useful

The practical value is in handling high-volume, repetitive inputs that follow a predictable pattern. Anything unpredictable still needs human oversight.

Where operators use it

Most operators start with one automation (missed call text-back, appointment reminders, or invoice delivery) and expand from there once they trust the system.

Where it breaks

It fails when inputs vary too much, when the stakes of a wrong output are high, or when the "data" it needs is locked in someone's head rather than a system.

Getting started

Map the manual process first. Write it as if you're training someone on the job. That document becomes your automation spec.
