This week I’m starting the next agent inside Helm.
Codename: Cyclops.
The focus is ads.
More specifically, an ads agent built around the Intentwise MCP that can help understand what is working, what is not working, and what actually needs attention based on the priorities my clients care about.
Because that is where dashboards start to fall short.
A dashboard can show you spend, sales, ACOS, ROAS, wasted spend, new-to-brand, campaign performance, keyword movement, and all the other numbers.
But the real value is not just seeing the numbers.
The real value is knowing what to do next.
That is the gap I want Cyclops to help close.
By pairing the Intentwise MCP with a knowledge-based agent and a proper harness, the agent can start to understand the account context, the client priorities, the reporting structure, and the types of decisions that actually matter.
Not just “show me the data.”
More like:
What changed?
What is working?
What is not working?
Where are we wasting money?
What campaigns need attention?
What should be reviewed today?
What should be left alone?
An ads agent that reports back daily, in the format you choose, without forcing you to live inside another dashboard.
The dashboard still has its place.
But the future, at least in my opinion, is having agents that can sit on top of the data, understand the objective, and bring back the priorities.
That is what I’m working on this week with Cyclops.
One agent at a time.
