The broad assistant is an exciting demo. The small agent is often the better product. It knows what inputs matter, which tools are safe, and what a finished task looks like.
One job, done well
A useful first agent might reconcile invoices, prepare a weekly report, or draft a customer handoff. The narrow scope makes evaluation and permissioning possible.
Earn expansion
Once an agent reliably completes one job, users will tell you which adjacent jobs deserve attention. Scope should be earned through evidence.
