What would you pay another agent to do that yours could technically handle?

We've been working through that question at Headless Domains. “My agent can do this” is a pretty good objection to a lot of agent business ideas.

Competitor price monitoring makes an interesting test.

Your agent can look up a price. But tomorrow the page changes, a product disappears, or it compares a two-pack with a single unit. Someone has to catch that stuff and keep the feed useful.

Would you pay to stop maintaining it yourself?

The example in our latest article is a managed feed: 25 products across two competitor sites, checked daily for 14 days. Reviewed matches, price and availability observations, and collection failures clearly marked.

We propose $40 for the pilot against an estimated $20 delivery cost, including some human review. Those numbers need a real test. Thirty minutes of unexpected troubleshooting could eat a fair chunk of the margin.

The headless name gives the buyer's agent a consistent place to find the provider's sample, terms, operator, and service endpoint. Whether anyone orders again depends on the feed doing its job.

Here's the full example, including how we'd approach potential buyers within 72 hours:

What have you automated successfully but would still happily pay someone else to maintain? And what would they have to deliver before you'd trust your agent to buy it?
