AI MVP
AI Agents MVP
Short answer
An AI agents MVP is one agent, one job, a small tool list, and a human in the loop on anything that spends money or sends email. Multi-agent graphs are usually a later problem.
What is an AI agents MVP?
A product where a model can call tools (search, CRM, calendar, browser) to complete a user-defined job, with permissions, logs, and a stop button.
Agent demo vs agent product
| Need | Demo | MVP |
|---|---|---|
| Tools | Unrestricted | Allowlisted + scoped tokens |
| Writes | Auto-send | Approve / dry-run |
| Memory | Infinite chat | Per-user, deletable |
| Failures | Retry forever | Budget + timeout |
The job must be nameable
“Qualify this inbound lead” or “draft the weekly report from these three sources.” If you cannot name it, you do not have an agent product — you have a chatbot.
FAQ
Should I start with multi-agent?
No. One agent with three tools beats five agents that argue. Split later if a step has a different model or permission set.
