How to Ship an AI Lead Review Agent in a Weekend

Pick a draft-only mode first

Give the agent everything it needs to act, but make it submit drafts.

Wire the heartbeat

A scheduled job is the difference between a demo and a system.

Make the activity log boring

Readable timestamps, levels, and message text are worth more than fancy dashboards.

Graduate tasks one at a time

Move from drafts to one-click approvals to autonomous handling for narrow task types.
