Prepare These 5 Assets Before Your AI Agents Take On More Work

Before AI agents can take on recurring work, the workflow itself must be clearly defined and prepared. This involves creating five reusable assets: an inventory of repeated work, a detailed task definition, a document of essential business context, and a set of acceptance tests to define quality. A final permission asset clarifies what an agent can do autonomously, what requires human approval, and what is off-limits. These assets ensure AI can support workflows consistently and reliably by removing ambiguity and setting clear expectations.
