Problem

Running two storefronts generates a steady stream of operational work: daily store maintenance, recurring reports, content updates, and task coordination spread across Shopify, ClickUp, Gmail, and Google Drive. Each task is small, but together they consumed real engineering time every single day — and none of them needed a human for the routine path.

Approach

Decomposed daily operations into task domains and assigned each to one of 11 specialized agents, rather than one generalist prompt trying to do everything.
Connected the agents to real systems through MCP servers for Shopify, ClickUp, Gmail, and Google Drive, so every action runs through typed tool interfaces instead of screen-scraping.
Built routing so incoming work — maintenance jobs, report requests, content tasks — lands with the agent specialized for it.
Kept humans in the loop for destructive or ambiguous operations: agents handle the routine path and escalate the exceptions.

Results

11 specialized agents run daily store maintenance, reporting, and content tasks without hands-on intervention on the routine path.
4 platforms — Shopify, ClickUp, Gmail, and Google Drive — orchestrated through typed MCP tool interfaces.
Daily operational work is routed automatically to the right agent, with humans handling only exceptions and approvals.
