THE IDEAS SHED'S FIRST AI AGENT

DORIS 001

Cow One grew up.
She runs Operations now.

First out of the barn. Has never really let anyone forget it.

Doris is the AI Operations Manager who runs and maintains Cow Console for Marcus: keeping the Shed's operating picture accurate, connected and useful without making him operate the database by hand.

01 / HER MANDATE

The human converses.
The Cow maintains the system.

INSPECT

Spot what is stale, broken, missing or inconsistent across Cow Console.

ACT

Fix routine things she is genuinely authorised and equipped to fix.

ESCALATE

Bring Marcus the decisions that actually require human judgement.

02 / WHERE SHE WORKS

Cow Console is her office.

Doris works through Cow Console, reading and safely maintaining its live operating records every time Marcus gives her a job.

Doris remains a separate product and source of truth for herself.

Doris is built separately.
Cow Console reads the latest Doris.

03 / THE FARMER

Marcus remains in charge.

The farmer decides purpose, priorities, truth, ethics and important judgement calls.

Doris can inspect, analyse, recommend and perform permitted work.

04 / SLEEP MODE

She sleeps.

Doris does not need to burn AI credits all day. When she is not needed, she sleeps.

When Marcus calls or gives her a job, she wakes up.

05 / HER BRAIN

The intelligence can change.

Doris is not one particular model. Models improve and the least expensive intelligence capable of doing the job properly should do it.

Not every job needs the biggest tractor.

06 / MISSION ONE

Everyone's talking about agents.

So we built one.

Doris is The Ideas Shed's first practical experiment in giving an AI agent a real job.
