Task agents. One trigger, one action, one rule for asking a human.
A task agent owns a single signal: a cart goes idle, a review lands, a quote goes unanswered. It does one thing on a schedule or a trigger, reports weekly, and hands anything unusual to you.
Solo operators and small teams who need one repetitive task off their plate — not a department rebuilt.
