What real tasks are founders delegating to agents today?

Founders are already handing agents inbound sales and lead qualification, customer support, competitor and market research, meeting prep and follow-ups, content drafts, ops reporting, and a growing share of coding. SaaStr's AI inbound agent closed over $1M in 90 days, and 15-person Every runs multiple products with agents doing most of the execution. The pattern: repetitive, text-heavy work with a clear goal goes first, and the founder stays on as reviewer.
