A practitioner writeup describes six months of running a YouTube production company with agents wired into self-hosted process tools after moving away from Slack and Notion.

It is deciding where automation can enter creative work without removing human review, decision ownership, and fallback paths.

Try this: Before copying the pattern, map one process by boundary: what the agent can read, what it can change, who reviews the output, and how the team recovers when it is wrong.
