🧑💼 Your first AI employee: where to start
The first agent is a hire, and it deserves the care of one. Pick the right seat, write the job down, measure where you started, and give it a fair trial with a clear finish line.
A good first job is not the most important work in the business. It is the work most likely to succeed and easiest to judge.
▸ Look for work that repeats, has rules you can write down, has cheap mistakes, and can be counted
▸ Write a one-page job description with one named reviewer
▸ Measure the job for a week before the agent touches it
▸ Run a 30-day trial: shadow, supervised, then measure
👉 Swipe for the short version.
