Every agent works an approval queue. Nothing ships without a human yes.
A Portland flight deals business where agents watch fares, draft the posts, and queue the ads. I approve over coffee.
Camping alerts for national park families. FastAPI backend, and an agent named Hermes running daily operations from a Mac mini in my office.
Grew a local events newsletter to 11,000 subscribers across 34 editions, then made the operator call to shut it down. Postmortem in the build log.
A premium fashion brand for breast cancer survivors who choose to go flat. Built with my wife.
People buy from people. Twenty-plus years of quota taught me that, and it is exactly why the agents work: they do the chores, I do the judgment. If you need someone who can build the system AND sell it, that combo is rarer than it should be. Say hi.
