Must-Have Features for MVP
Visual builder + TS SDK with templates for common ad/CRM tasks
Secure action runner with OAuth credential vault and audit logs
UI injection (panels/buttons) that feels native inside target apps
Rollback/undo for risky operations; dry-run validation
Client- and role-scoped policies to control who can run what
Prebuilt capsules: bulk budget allocator, naming enforcer, offline conv upload
Marketplace with rating/signing so agencies can share/sell micro-features
Observability: run times, error heatmaps, and per-client ROI tracking
⚠️ Potential Challenges
- Vendor anti-automation/ToS constraints
- Rate limits and captcha/robot detection
- Quality control of community-shared capsules
- Version drift as vendor UIs change
- Security reviews for injected UI and credential vault
Risk Level: High
