They work in pods for SEO and GEO, sales, campaign development, and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One small team sits around those pods: three ad managers, an SEO and GEO specialist, an analytics and attribution specialist, a GTM engineer, a web developer, and Threw as CEO and senior campaign manager.

If Threw had automated the old way of working, his AI agents would have carried over the same inconsistency he was trying to fix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the process written down first, every agent started from one shared standard.

Almost all of that has moved to agents that can read the situation and adjust their steps accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lead form shows the difference. When a prospect submits one, the lead lands in the CRM space, and the Lead Enrichment Researcher automatically researches the company and the person, so Threw has context before a follow-up or a meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"cu-author-quote undefined\"><blockquote class=\"cu-author-quote__quote\"><p>As you&#8217;d expect, we leverage ClickUp&#8217;s AI features extensively, almost completely removing the use of the more manual if\/then automation flows in favor of more dynamic AI agents.<\/p><\/blockquote><figure class=\"cu-author-quote__author-group\"><img id=\"634179\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"cu-author-quote__image\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Threw.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Threw.png 620w, https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Threw-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Threw-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, 50px\"\/><figcaption class=\"cu-author-quote__author-info\"><cite class=\"cu-author-quote__author-name\">Jared Threw<\/cite><span>,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"cu-author-quote__author-position\">Founder &#038; CEO at House of Growth<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-write-agent-instructions-by-talking-through-the-workflow-out-loud\">Write agent instructions by talking through the workflow out loud<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each agent then needs instructions, and almost every one at the agency is built from scratch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first draft is built from a transcribed snippet that helps to preserve all the nuance.
