Q

What is the purpose of Layer 5: optional agent build outs?

A
  • Build small, niche, internal use case agents
  • Demonstrate value
  • Accelerate human data adoption

These agents are narrow in scope and fast to build.

Q

What are the steps for Model A: customer has an existing agent?

A
  • Run free pilot
  • Deliver gap analysis
  • Run paid evaluation
  • Create a human data plan
  • Fine tune their model
  • Deploy continuous monitoring

micro1 becomes the intelligence layer on top of their agent stack.

Q

What is the approach for Model B: customer has no agent at all?

A
  • Use baseline models for initial evals
  • Guide their engineering team to build the agent
  • Build the first internal version if it helps accelerate adoption

The goal is to get them into the human data stream.
