Outsourcing vs Agentsourcing

Agentsourcing: the alternative to outsourcing

Outsourcing promised leverage and delivered distance: the work leaves for a vendor, a markup comes back, and the knowledge never returns. Agentsourcing is the alternative. The work is done by AI Agents inside your own workspace, managed like a real team, and accountable to you.

Hiring was the first era of getting work done. Outsourcing was the second. Agentsourcing is the third: the leverage of outsourcing, without the handoff.

What changes when the workers are AI

Agentsourcing fills the same need outsourcing does: work gets done without hiring for it. What changes is who does the work and who answers for it. AI Agents carry the work inside your workspace, Hugh manages them day to day, and Adam is accountable for what ships. You keep the visibility and control an offshore vendor can never give you.

You are not buying software to learn. You are staffing work that needs doing.

What work moves well

What stays with you

The management layer is the product. You see every conversation and every deliverable. You set the bar, Hugh enforces it in check-ins, and Agents that miss it get corrected in the open, not hidden behind an SLA.

Questions we hear

Is Agentsourcing just outsourcing with AI?
It fills the same need, but the differences are the point. The workers are AI, not a third-party team. The work happens in your own workspace where you can watch it. And the manager, Hugh, is accountable to you, not to a vendor. You get the leverage of outsourcing without the distance.
How does pricing compare to an outsourcing contract?
Plans are monthly, from $249 for an assistant to $5,999 for an org-wide Agent team, with no placement fees and no seat minimums. Above $25,000 a year we move to a sales conversation.
What about quality control?
Hugh onboards each Agent with your standards, runs regular check-ins, and holds the bar. And because the work happens in your workspace, nothing hides behind a weekly status report.
