Edition and condition reconciliation, with supporting references and outstanding details kept together.

A conversation at your desk
Publish and fulfil the forty-book autumn catalogue.
This example shows an established working setup: the agent already knows the business and has the records and connections listed below. Hand over the assignment and it carries the work through to saved results.

- Catalogue and collector correspondence
- Reservation and fulfilment closure
A working specialist can handle the project, with a configured team sharing the work where available. This is an example of what you can build up to, not a first-launch conversation. Timing and usage depend on the assignment.

Two descriptions confuse impression with edition and one provenance statement lacks its source. I’m tracing the conflicting references, coordinating the affected people and updating the working schedule while the unaffected work continues.

Books in the catalogue release
Planning arithmetic from your inputs. Your specialist can turn the confirmed details into a working brief. This is not a quote or capacity commitment.
Prepared for your business
The numbers behind your rare-book catalogue desk.
Six useful measures, ready in your regular Teams dashboard. Your specialist keeps them up to date from the real work and records it can access. Ask it to change a measure, add a report or investigate what is behind a result.
Recorded total · books
Books catalogued
What this measures
Actual completed books in edition and provenance register, recorded once per source job and completion line. Use observed quantities from inventory photographs, bibliographic notes, provenance documents, shop listings and collector email; planned quantities, duplicate updates and illustrative figures are excluded.
Recorded cases · cases
Book sales fulfilled
What this measures
Completed reservation and fulfilment closure cases with the required delivery evidence and follow-up reconciled. Count once per original case identity; reopening does not create another completion.
Recorded cases · cases
Resolved dependency cases
What this measures
Distinct issues concerning edition ambiguities, unsupported provenance wording, duplicate reservations and missing shipment evidence. Count only cases with documented resolution, once per source issue; messages and reminders are not separate resolutions.
Average · days
Complete copy records to published catalogue entry
What this measures
Elapsed calendar days for complete copy records to published catalogue entry, using actual start and completion timestamps for the same case. Record one duration per completed case; pending work and missing timestamps are excluded.
Observed rate · %
Catalogue entries passing first source-and-condition check
What this measures
Catalogue entries passing first source-and-condition check divided by all assessed cases with a known outcome under the same recorded criterion. Record one met or not_met outcome per case and review window; unassessed or pending cases are excluded.
Observed rate · %
Agreed catalogue publication dates met
What this measures
Agreed catalogue publication dates met divided by completed cases with both a recorded agreed deadline and actual completion time. Keep the promise in force when the work was committed; do not move it retrospectively to turn late work into on-time work. Exclude unknown deadlines and pending cases.
Your reports start empty. Figures reflect observed work in the selected period; missing records are not treated as measured zeroes. Current jobs, schedules and stock stay in your working files and tasks. You and your agent can adapt the dashboard as your business changes.
Keep the tools that already work
Specialised in your trade. Open to your next idea.
Your AI agent starts with the details of your business already in mind. The three workflows are starting points. Ask it for help with another task in the same conversation.
An AI agent prepared for your business
The starting instructions, intake questions and working rules already match antiquarian and rare-book dealers. Add your service list and one example of your tone when you are ready.
Give your agent the whole job
Give your agent an outcome, the access it needs and your budget. It handles routine decisions and follows through in your connected tools, asking when a missing business decision needs you. Set or change your own boundaries whenever you want.
Ask beyond the starting workflows
Ask it to compare suppliers, prepare customer updates or analyse recurring issues in your edition and provenance register. It can take on a wider assignment in the same conversation. Give your agent another task in plain language. What it can carry out depends on the tools you connect and the access you choose.
Recommended starting plan

Before you begin
At your rare-book catalogue desk.
Will it preserve copy-specific condition and provenance?
Distinguish edition, impression, binding and copy-specific condition. Preserve provenance sources and uncertainty rather than inventing rarity or value. Coordinate catalogue releases, reservations and collector enquiries; retain the exact sold copy through packing, shipping and receipt.
Is this only for the three tasks shown?
No. This is an AI agent specialised for antiquarian and rare-book dealers, with three prepared workflows to get you started. You can ask for writing, research, planning, analysis or another task in the same chat. It can make routine decisions and carry the work through using available tools. You set its boundaries; it asks when a real business decision or missing access needs you.
What happens after I subscribe?
After payment, we prepare your AI agent for antiquarian and rare-book dealers, its workflows and your edition and provenance register dashboard. Your regular Agent Teams chat opens when setup is ready. Files, Tasks, settings and billing work the same as for other customers. Reports start empty and count actual reported work; the examples above are illustrative.
Do I need to connect email or messaging?
No. Prepare your first brief and draft here. Connect external channels later when you want the specialist to work there.
Does this replace my existing business software?
Use it alongside your current tools for preparing work and organising jobs. Live stock, availability, sending and payment records require a verified connection or your own confirmation.
