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.

How pricing works
Pricing is scoped to your operation in a 30-minute consultation — how many locations, which integrations, what context tuning we do at onboarding. After the call you receive a private checkout link with a fixed monthly number.
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.

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
Consumes product-catalog canonicalization + POS / ERP / OMS webhooks to maintain a real-time per-SKU stock-state view across stores and warehouses.
- In development
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
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 / 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.

Predictive stockout forecasting
Forecasts stockouts from consumer demand × replenishment lead-time and pre-emptively reallocates ad spend before the SKU goes dark.
