# What are job automation agents?

> Job automation agents each take over one job in a business, such as inbox triage, follow-up, reporting, research or outreach. They are built and sold one at a time, so you start with the job that costs you the most hours.

**Job automation agent:** An AI agent that takes over one job in a business, such as inbox triage, follow-up, reporting, research or outreach, built and sold one at a time.

## The jobs, in the order our delivery record is strongest

- Inbox triage. It reads new mail and booking requests, answers the routine ones inside your rules and hands the rest to a person. A hospitality group near Bruges: a backlog of about 40 booking emails cleared in one day.
- Follow-up and scheduling. It drafts the follow-up after every call and offers times. It books only after a person approves. A law firm's scheduling assistant books only after a person approves.
- Reporting. It builds the morning brief and the weekly numbers from your own systems. A law firm gets a morning brief, and a Bruges brewery has sales and statistics dashboards its agents keep.
- Research. It reads your documents and the web, then answers with its sources. A law firm searches its document library read-only, and an IT consultancy's recruiters use a sourcing tool to find and qualify talent.
- Outreach. It finds and verifies leads, then drafts the first message for a person to approve. Our own cybersecurity company runs its outbound on agents that source, verify and contact leads every day.

## How to pick the first job

Pick a job that repeats daily, follows rules you can write down and is easy for a person to check. A job that eats at least 5 hours of your team's week is worth automating first.

The [free AI audit](https://agenticengineeringconsulting.com/audit) ranks your own list of jobs by hours saved and gives you a 90-day roadmap.

## How each agent is built

Every job follows the same 30-day build: kickoff, build on your real cases, a supervised run, then live. See [how we build agents](https://agenticengineeringconsulting.com/wiki/how-we-build-agents).

## When one agent becomes a team

Once several jobs are running, they can work together under one owner. That is an [Agent Enterprise](https://agenticengineeringconsulting.com/wiki/agent-enterprise).

## How it is priced in words

Each job is its own build: one agent, one job, a fixed price from €2,500 agreed before we start. You can [book a call](https://calendar.app.google/sdYkXF3ny2kvbvp39) to scope your first job.
