I had a lead lined up for a pilot in my sales pipe, and their product is a marketing campaign agent.
I'd not analyzed that type of agent before, so I wanted to check how TwoTail would handle it.
I decided to built a simple replica of their product - spinning up a demo agent with approximately the same features.
Then I integrated that with my product TwoTail AI to see how it would analyze it.
Along the way, I noted down areas where the analysis could be improved.
This entires process took 1 day - now I'm much better prepared to onboard the the real one!
And a side benefit - I can use this agent when running demos for future marketing agents.
The interesting part wasn't building the replica—it was using it to reduce uncertainty before a real customer ever arrived.
Work that improves both onboarding and future demos usually compounds in ways that aren't obvious when you first build it.
