Start where agents save expensive human time.
The wedge is not a generic marketplace. It is a small set of private agents handling real files, approvals, artifacts, repeatable outcomes. Once they work internally, they become public products.
Five agents worth proving first.
Sales engineering agent
Reads an RFP, approved collateral, pricing rules, product docs. Returns a cited response pack with review checkpoints.
Support operations agent
Triage tickets. Search knowledge bases. Inspect account context. Draft responses. Escalate actions that need approval.
Finance reconciliation agent
Compares invoices, contracts, usage exports, payment records. Produces exception reports and audit-ready artifacts.
Compliance evidence agent
Collects policy evidence, screenshots, logs, attestations, control mapping artifacts into a reproducible workspace.
Research and brief agent
Runs deep research, writes a sourced brief, saves datasets, lets another specialist agent create charts or slides.
Private first. Public only after proof.
Production buyers care less about agent claims and more about evidence. Every agent has a path from private trial → governed internal use → public distribution.
Private trial
Attach real files, define acceptance criteria, test without publishing.
Approval gate
Pause for broader file access, external action, or production handoff.
Replay
Re-run the same inputs against a new agent version. Compare outputs.
Promote
Move proven internal agents to team registry, partner API, public page.
A good first agent has a crisp acceptance test.
Pick work where success is inspectable: a generated artifact, a reconciled spreadsheet, a sourced response, a triaged queue, an evidence pack. Make the agent prove the work with receipts, eval scores, replay data, human review.
