Operations
Operations agents keep the business running smoothly: writing SOPs, turning meetings into tasks, watching inventory and flagging overdue work. They work best on processes that already exist but are tracked inconsistently.

Operations FAQ
What operations work suits an AI agent?
Work that follows a clear pattern: documenting a process, logging action items, checking stock levels against thresholds, or reminding owners about stalled tasks.
Do I need to document my processes first?
It helps. Some agents here, like the SOP writer, exist to create that documentation from recordings of how work is done today.
Where do operations agents send their output?
Usually to the tools your team already checks, such as Slack, Notion or Google Workspace.
Can an agent manage inventory?
An agent can watch stock levels and alert you or draft a purchase order. A person should approve orders before they're sent.
