The big idea
If you sell stickers or art online, agents can handle order updates, inventory, and customer FAQs. But a real human (you) needs to handle anything weird — refunds, complaints, or surprise orders.
Some examples
- Agent emails customers when their order ships.
- Agent flags low inventory before you run out.
- Agent drafts replies to common questions — you approve before sending.
- Agent escalates anything emotional or unusual to you.
Try it!
Imagine a tiny shop you'd love to run. List three tasks an agent could do and one task only you should do.
