Agents with a job

An AI marketing agent that runs on its own

Most AI marketing tools wait for your next prompt. A JackHamr marketing agent owns the job. Give it a goal, like growing leads 20% a month, and it plans the work, runs on its own schedule, adjusts to what is working, and comes back to you only for the calls you want to make.

How it works

1

Give it the job

In plain English: "Own our marketing. Grow leads 20% a month." Or let it draft the job and goals from a conversation you already had.

2

Approve its plan

It drafts a plan with recurring work and a prioritized backlog. Nothing happens until you sign it off.

3

It works on its own schedule

Every hour, every day, or whatever you set. Each check-in it picks the most valuable next step and does it, then keeps going until what is left needs you.

4

It asks when it matters

Your rules decide what needs your OK. Decisions arrive as cards, and it pauses until you answer.

Its first check-in: the agent drafts a plan from the job and goals, then waits for your sign-off before it touches anything.

What a marketing agent can work on

Examples of the work it picks up on its own, check-in after check-in:

  • Researches competitors, pricing pages, and what your audience searches for.
  • Drafts landing pages, blog posts, comparison pages, and email copy.
  • Watches your analytics and shifts its time toward what actually brings in leads.
  • Finds and fixes the leaks: slow pages, broken links, weak calls to action, stale listings.
  • Suggests work you never asked for, like a comparison page when a competitor changes its pricing.
  • Keeps a weekly report so you can see what it did and why.

What it asks you first

You decide in plain English. A typical marketing agent's rules say to ask before:

  • Publishing anything public, like a post, a page, or a listing.
  • Emailing or messaging customers and prospects.
  • Changing prices or offering discounts.
  • Spending money on ads or tools.

When one of those comes up, it drafts the work, sends you a decision card, and pauses until you answer. As you get comfortable, tell it "don't ask again for this kind of thing" and it stops asking.

It gets better the longer it runs

  • It keeps a memory of what worked, what you corrected, and how you like things done.
  • Its plan evolves: finished work moves to done, new ideas join the backlog, dead ends drop off.
  • Each agent has its own cloud machine with a real browser, so it can check your site the way a visitor does.

Questions people ask

What is an AI marketing agent?

An AI agent that owns marketing work toward a goal, not just a chatbot that writes copy on request. On JackHamr it has its own cloud machine and connected apps, keeps a plan, and works on a schedule you set.

Can an AI marketing agent really run autonomously?

Yes, within limits you set. It plans, checks in on its own, and does the work it is allowed to do alone. Anything your rules say needs you, like publishing or emailing customers, comes to you as a decision first.

Will it post or email without asking me?

Only if you tell it that it can. You write the rules in plain English, and it asks before anything they cover. You can later say "don't ask again for this kind of thing" when you are comfortable.

Which tools can it use?

It can work with 1,500+ connected apps, like Gmail, Notion, HubSpot, and Linear, granted one agent at a time, plus a real browser on its own machine and Slack for talking to your team.

What does it cost?

Pay only while agents run: infrastructure at cost and model tokens at provider rates, itemized. You can also use your own model keys or your Claude Code or Codex subscription. Free to start.
