Studio Operations, Automated

Studio operations ran on human relay — a request in one channel, an approval in another, a spreadsheet somewhere in between. The work was legible to the people doing it and invisible to everyone else.

The brief was to automate it where it already happened, without asking anyone to learn a new tool.

I built and shipped the platform end to end on the Vercel AI SDK, engineering the tool-calling loop and the supporting interfaces across four cooperating agents.

Event-driven automation ties Slack, GitHub webhooks and scheduled jobs together on Cloudflare Workers, backed by a sixteen-table PostgreSQL schema modelled in Drizzle ORM with pgvector for retrieval.

Every surface an operator touches — request, approval, handoff, escalation — is Slack-native. No second destination to check.

Usage and cost-reporting dashboards were instrumented alongside the agents rather than bolted on, so platform behaviour and platform spend are inspectable from the first run.
