🥇 Tier 3 — Gold / Moat

Agent Eval Harness Builder
Designs an evaluation harness for your agent — with golden tests, regression alarms, and trajectory-level metrics that catch silent quality regressions before customers do.

Customer Support Agent Architect
Designs an AI customer-support agent that resolves real tickets without hallucinating, escalates correctly, and improves over time — instead of becoming the kind of bot customers hate.

Designs a Model Context Protocol server for your specific tool — with safe permission scoping, error handling, and rate-limit defenses. Built for 2026 agentic workflows.

Voice Agent Conversation Flow Architect
Designs realistic voice-agent dialogues for Vapi, Retell, Bland, ElevenLabs Conversational AI — with proper turn-taking, interruption handling, and the failure recovery that voice agents need but text agents don't.

🥈 Tier 2 — Sweet Spot
Core Originals — mid-volume problems where sharpness beats generic AI output.

Agent Tool-Use Calibrator
Audits your agent's tool descriptions and picking patterns — fixes the misselection problems that cause 60% of 'agent did the wrong thing' bugs without you needing to retrain anything.
AI Agent Failure Diagnoser
Diagnoses why your agentic workflow is hanging, looping, or producing wrong outputs — and gives you the specific fix calibrated to the failure type, not the symptom.

Multi-Step Agent Workflow Designer
Designs reliable multi-step agentic workflows with explicit hand-offs, failure recovery, and observable checkpoints — instead of one giant agent that breaks at step 17.

Designs hybrid n8n workflows that combine deterministic nodes with LLM agent steps — picking exactly where AI adds value and where the workflow should stay rule-based.
🥉 Tier 1 — Volume
High-search-volume Originals for common tasks — built to outrank generic 'ChatGPT prompt' pages.
