Constrained Agents & Measurable Loops: What AI Consultants Can Ship Today
Marcus Gaughan owner of Minds on Fire joined us and we covered the systems he uses to run an AI/automation consulting practice across retail, insurance, fintech, and healthcare. Practical takeaways for consultants: Translate asks to systems: Map lead → conversion → fulfillment → retention, then pick levers. Data triage first: Pull from POS/payment exports/inboxes; standardize as you go. Narrow loops, human review: Chat-assisted intake, event-driven email, dashboards; humans approve money-moving/outbound promises. Constrain agents: Keep LLM actions inside the product's API surface; require confirmations and action summaries. Measure what matters: Revenue/conversions first, then dwell/click paths and AOV; iterate on what moves those.
