Delegate It?

Twelve tasks from an ordinary week of running a business. For each one: would you hand it to an AI agent, or keep a human on it?

Task 1 of 12

    What AI agents actually do well today

    The pattern in this game is not random. Agents shine at high-volume, low-stakes, rule-following work: drafting follow-ups, sorting messages, answering the same six questions, confirming appointments, summarizing numbers. Humans stay essential where stakes are high and judgment or empathy carries the moment: pricing, hiring, apologies, contracts.

    The businesses that get value from AI are not the ones that automate everything. They are the ones that draw this line deliberately. We help owners draw it with our AI Concierge and ready-made business agents.

    FAQ

    What is an AI agent?

    Software that uses AI to complete multi-step tasks on its own: drafting and sending follow-ups, sorting email, answering routine questions, updating systems. You set the rules, it does the repetition.

    What should never be delegated to AI?

    Judgment calls with real stakes: pricing, hiring and firing, legal commitments, and any conversation where a person is upset. AI can prepare those moments, but a human should own them.
