A founder ran his accessibility SaaS as a five-agent company for one week. A CEO agent read the shared state, made decisions, and issued orders. A sales agent scanned agency websites and sent personalised cold email and follow-ups, with three templates in three languages. A marketing agent published articles and built 108 search pages. An analytics agent tracked the numbers and looked for counter-evidence. A product agent completed the team. Each agent worked from written spec files and shared state files, on schedules.
How it wentIn one week the team scanned 126 agency websites in 12 countries and sent 241 emails. The reply rate was 0%, against a target above 3%. Delivery was 87.1%, with 19 bounces, and search engines indexed none of the 108 new pages. The CEO agent saw the failure on day 3, paused cold outreach, and moved the other agents to new work.
Try it · based on the source's workflow
Run a one-week outreach test for [business name] with a small agent team. The sales agent may send at most [number] personalised emails to [target list], and every message shows me as the sender and stops for my approval of the template first. The analytics agent reports daily: sent, delivered, bounced, replies, and reply rate against the [target] goal. If replies are zero after [50] sends, pause outreach and report why before any more sends.
A starting template based on the workflow the source describes. Review it before you use it; you are responsible for what it does.
