Tell your agent what you need and your budget. It searches the shops you trust, compares prices, delivery and reviews, and fills the basket for you. It never checks out: you look over the basket and press pay yourself.

An always-on agent is only useful if it knows when to speak up. Give it three bins (tell me now, save it for the morning brief, or don't tell me at all) with real examples from your business, plus quiet hours. You stop getting pinged about nothing, and you stop missing the one thing that mattered.

Background agents use your plan allowance or API credit every time they check something. Once a month, your agent lists every scheduled job, what it cost and whether it found anything useful, then suggests what to keep, run less often, merge or switch off. Fifteen minutes, and the bill matches the value.

Put your how-we-do-it guides, checklists, price list and policies into one AI project. Staff ask in plain words ("how do I cash up?", "what's in the vegan wrap?") and every answer says which document it came from. If the handbook doesn't cover it, the answer is "ask the manager", never a guess.
