The SEO agent drafting posts on this very site is the canonical example. Twice a week it scans keyword trends, picks an angle, drafts a post, drops it into a review folder. Nothing ships without me approving it.
That's the pattern I sell: AI does the boring 80%, the human keeps the steering wheel for the 20% that matters. No "agentic" magic that publishes garbage at 3am. No vendor lock-in. Everything routes through Vercel AI Gateway so you can swap models when a better one ships next quarter.
Common shapes:
- Intake → brief. A prospect lands on a wizard, answers 4-7 adaptive questions, an AI generates a brand brief from their website. Your sales team walks into the discovery call with context.
- Anomaly watch. A cron sweeps your audit log nightly for stuck states, mass-signup spikes, DELETE bursts, unusual patterns. You get an email when something looks off, not when everything is fine.
- Content + social. Drafts queued for review. You approve once; it posts to LinkedIn, X, your blog. Approval gate stays human.
- Routing assist. Inbound classified by urgency / topic / intent, suggested assignee surfaced, humans confirm.
If you've already got systems and want AI threaded through them, this is the engagement.
