Use Cases and Playbooks
These playbooks walk through building real internal tools as sandcastles. Each one starts from a conversation with the AI and ends with a working app your team can use — complete with persistent data, a linked subagent for automation, and a clear path to extend.
Playbooks
Playbook: Build a Purchase Approval Tracker
Purchase requests live in email threads, spreadsheets, and Slack messages. This playbook walks you through building a kanban-style approval tracker where requesters submit, managers approve, finance signs off, and procurement orders — all in one app with a full audit trail.
Playbook: Build a Vendor Performance Scorecard
Your procurement team evaluates vendors by gut feel because the data is scattered across the ERP, the 3PL portal, and a spreadsheet someone started two years ago. This playbook walks you through building a scorecard app that consolidates delivery performance, payment history, and quality metrics into a single ranked view.
Playbook: Build a Budget Variance Dashboard
Finance publishes a budget at the start of the quarter. By week three nobody knows where actual spend stands relative to plan. This playbook walks you through building a dashboard that shows variance by department and cost center, with drill-downs and alerts when spend exceeds threshold.
Playbook: Build a Contract Renewal Tracker
Contract renewals sneak up on you. Somebody notices the auto-renew date three days out, and the team scrambles. This playbook walks you through building a tracker that centralizes contract metadata, shows a renewal calendar, and uses a subagent to send reminders before deadlines arrive.
