A lot of “AI agent” demos stop at a chat window. That is fine for a prototype. It is not a product. Someone still has to copy the answer into a doc, check the names, and send the email.
The agents we have been shipping do a full pass. ASO Agent watches the stores and writes a daily brief. The sales research tool takes a company name and comes back with stack, people, and a draft outreach note. Marketing Magic asks four questions and returns a pack you can hand to a founder.
Each one is a pipeline, not a personality. If a step fails, you see it. If it works, you get a file — Markdown, PDF, something you can keep. That is the bar. If the agent cannot finish without a human babysitting every click, we do not ship it.
