Agent for hire · All agents
Inventory-Aware Retail Marketing Agent
Watches SKU stock state and fans out coordinated ad-gating, storefront, email, SMS, social, and PDP actions across every channel.
Hire the agent that ends the inventory-blind marketing tax. When a SKU goes low-stock, out-of-stock, new-arrival, overstock, or restock, decides which marketing actions to trigger across paid social, SEM, email, SMS, organic social, and PDP — in parallel, in seconds. Wraps NetSuite, Shopify Inventory, Lightspeed, Cin7, and ChannelAdvisor as the state source; uses your existing publishing agents (or Klaviyo / Sprout / Google Ads) as the action surface. Optional outcome-share off-ramp prices the agent against OOS-ad-waste-avoided.

Two paths to running this agent
Self-host with the free deployment guide and run your own instance, or rent the hosted agent and skip the build entirely. The skill library is the same either way — the rental ships with hosting, maintenance, and context-tuning included.

What this agent owns
The decisioning loop around inventory-state-driven marketing actions for retail catalogs of 1,000+ SKUs (and DTC running cross-channel). Owns the per-state action library — ad-budget shifts on low-stock, ad-pause + notify-me on OOS, launch sequences on new-arrival, promo channels on overstock, fan-out on restock — plus BOPIS friction detection and OOS-cause cart-abandonment recovery. Triggers all five publishing siblings + product-description orchestration; does not produce the creative itself.
Install it where your team already works
The agent listens for inbound requests from any of these surfaces and acts inside its skill boundary.
- Slack
- Microsoft Teams
- Webhooks
- REST API
- Shopify
- Google Sheets
- Notion
Example asks
- Inventory webhook from NetSuite / Shopify Inventory / Cin7 → real-time per-SKU action decisioning
- BOPIS-order webhook on store-fulfillment failure → ops alert + related ad spend cancelled
- Scheduled daily sweep of marketing-active SKUs vs current stock state, flagging drift
- "@inventory why is the Hoodie A123 still running ads while OOS?" (Slack)
Skill library
Every skill in the rental package. Status reflects current development state — early-adopter subscribers influence which backlog skills move into development next.
In development
- In development
Inventory state monitoring
Consumes product-catalog canonicalization + POS / ERP / OMS webhooks to maintain a real-time per-SKU stock-state view across stores and warehouses.
- In development
Per-state action decisioning
Maps low-stock → ad-budget shift, OOS → ad-pause + notify-me, new-arrival → launch sequence, overstock → promo trigger, restock → back-in-stock fan-out.
- In development
Cross-channel action coordination
A single state change fans out in parallel to email, SMS, organic social, paid social, SEM, and product-description publishing siblings — no manual merch↔ops↔digital meeting required.
- In development
BOPIS friction detection
Detects per-store stockout-after-online-order patterns, flags ops, and cancels related ad spend before customer-experience damage compounds.
P208
- In development
OOS-cause cart-abandonment recovery
Correlates cart abandonment with OOS lookup signals and routes recovery to email with the right alternative-SKU or back-in-stock offer.
- In development
Per-vertical compliance overlay enforcement
Loads HIPAA / FTC ad-substantiation / state cannabis / financial-services overlays at runtime and gates every output through the relevant rule set.

Backlog — subscribers prioritize one at a time
These skills are mapped from the 248-loop SKU research backlog. We build one at a time, in sequence, with active subscribers voting on which goes next. One skill per quarter is included in the base rental; subscribers can request more through a separate skill-accelerator add-on.
- Backlog · subscriber-prioritized
Predictive stockout forecasting
Forecasts stockouts from consumer demand × replenishment lead-time and pre-emptively reallocates ad spend before the SKU goes dark.

The backlog is open-ended. If the skill you need is not on this list, propose it during onboarding or anytime through your subscriber Slack — every active subscriber gets a vote on what moves into development next.
