The story

Someone asks in team chat whether an idea is worth building. The agent brings several AI models into the room to debate it and puts the open questions to the owner while everyone is still there. Once the owner approves, the same panel turns the decision into a full plan, a project definition and a briefing deck. If the discussion runs long, a watchdog pauses it at the spending limit and says where things stand.
