The first agent worth building is almost never the one on your homepage. Here is how we pick it in an audit.

Start where the hours are

Most teams want a chatbot first. The hours are usually somewhere quieter: copying data between tools, chasing replies, matching documents.

Three questions we ask

  • How often does this task happen?
  • How many minutes does it take a person?
  • What happens when it goes wrong?

Multiply the first two and weigh the third. The top of that list is where to start.

Keep a person in the loop

The first version of any agent should hand the hard cases to a person, with a draft. Trust comes from the logs, not the demo.
