Three businesses, a dozen single-lane agents

One owner ran a florist, a travel business and a news site through about a dozen agents, each with a single job, during the week of October 3 to 10. He reports 68 tasks closed, a travel agent that read 397 supplier emails and caught a cruise flash sale in time to post it, and a florist agent that built the wholesale price list and proposal templates. Nothing reaches a customer without his approval.

How it went68 tasks closed in one week across three businesses. Nothing reaches a customer without the owner's approval.

Build me a team of single-job agents, one per task, for [business name]. Start with these lanes: [inbox triage, price list updates, supplier email watch, proposal drafts]. Each agent works only its lane, keeps a log of everything it does, and stops for my approval before anything reaches a customer. Give me a one-page control sheet: what each agent can do alone, what needs my yes, and how I pause it. Set up the first lane and show me a test run before building the rest.
A starting template based on the workflow the source describes. Review it before you use it; you are responsible for what it does.
