Every agent gets a job description before it gets built
We treat agents the way a good manager treats people. Nobody gets hired without a job description, a manager, and a review. Nobody gets deployed without one either.
Put an agent into an undisciplined workflow and the agent amplifies the mess. The job description is where the discipline lives:
- One owner. A named person accountable for the agent’s performance and adoption.
- One number. The metric it is hired against, with a baseline and a target date.
- One boundary. What is explicitly not its job. Relationships, judgment, and creative work stay human.
- Three review dates. Day 30, 60, and 90. Rebuild, retire, or expand.
The example is a Meeting Prep Agent. Its job is simple: no seller walks into a client conversation cold. If half the briefs go unopened at day 60, the format changes. At day 90, the agent goes.
Which job in your revenue team would you write the description for first?
