How I run a whole business off a team of agents from my phone.

The HTML Review Loop. The one piece nobody hands you is the moment the work comes back for your call. This is how I built mine, and the prompt to build yours. Free field guide PDF.

You can run ten agents. You can only read so fast. An agent drafts a cold email, a landing page, and three social posts before you finish your first task of the day. Then it stops and waits for you. That wait is the whole game.

The agents do not slow you down. The reviewing does. For a while my whole day was a scroll: open a file, read it, decide, type a reply, open the next one. Most of that motion was friction, not judgment.

So I changed how the work comes to me. Not the agents. The handoff. The agents got better the moment I stopped reviewing them like a stack of documents and started reviewing them like a control panel I carry in my pocket.

What is inside

The routing rule, two tiers

Send each decision to the cheapest surface that can carry it. A yes or no is a button you tap on your phone. A "yes, but change this line" is a card on a dashboard. One test routes everything: would an edit here need a sentence to explain it?

The dashboard, built for your thumb

The full draft sits on the page, no link to open. Approve or edit per item. A notes field holds the why. Decided cards lock so a re-paste never resends what you already acted on. A sticky bar tells you four of nine decided, so you can start a queue and finish it later.

The paste-back contract

One button compiles every verdict and note into clean plain text. You copy it, paste it back to the agent, and it gets to work the same hour. The button captures the verdict. The dashboard captures the why. Most agent work dies for lack of the why.

The prompt to build your own

The whole thing runs on plain HTML, no app to install, nothing to squint at. The last section is the exact prompt to hand your own agent stack, so you can stand this up today on whatever you already use.

Who it is for

Anyone running work through agents and hitting the same wall: the agents are fast, the reviewing is not. If the bottleneck in your day is the human throat the work has to pass through, this was written for you. It widens that throat without lowering the bar.
