Direct answer
Agency ops agents target recurring account work: status collection, draft updates, task creation. Client strategy and sensitive communication stay human. Goal: same team size, more throughput.
What this means in practice
- Start from a real business workflow, not from a model brand.
- Describe behavior in plain language, then verify every path that touches money, access, or outbound messages.
- Keep a human path for non-standard cases.
What good looks like
- Clear standard vs non-standard routing
- Knowledge base the assistant can actually use
- Session memory only where intended
- Secrets never in client JavaScript
- Logs and a stop switch
What bad looks like
- "It works in the preview" without production checks
- Tokens and webhooks left public
- No human handoff for exceptions
- Thin machine-translated pages sold as localization
