Agent Overview

How AI agents fit together across voice, text, local search, and marketing workflows

What Agents Are

An agent is an AI-powered workflow that handles a real business job for a client.

Some agents talk directly to people. Others work in the background on marketing, local visibility, or follow-up.

Main Agent Families

What Changes By Agent Type

Not every agent behaves the same way.

  • Voice agents need live call review, routing, and booking checks.
  • Text setter agents need channel, handoff, and follow-up checks.
  • Marketing agents need approvals, guardrails, and trend review.
  • Ads agents need stronger budget and launch discipline.

What The Agency Team Really Owns

At the agency level, your job is not just turning agents on.

You are usually responsible for:

  • choosing the right agent type
  • making sure prerequisites are connected
  • reviewing output quality
  • managing budgets and risk
  • knowing which workflows are truly live and which still need tighter control

Live Versus Rollout Workflows

Treat maturity level seriously:

  • Live means the workflow is trusted for normal production use.
  • Beta means it may be real, but it still needs stronger operator review.
  • Alpha means it is still closer to testing than routine production work.
