Start with specialist agents so you can move before you hire. Bring a person into the same Decillion room when the work needs judgment, presence, or a signature — not a second stack of tools.
Decillion recommends specialist agents from your brief so you can move before you hire. That is the point. Hiring too early wastes money; hiring too late means the work is trapped in a private chat the new person cannot see. The useful question is not “AI or humans?” It is “when does this project need a person in the same orbit as the agents already on it?”
Keep it agents-only while the outcome is cheap to reverse
• Research, outlines, first drafts, checklists, and options you can throw away.
• Work you can review in minutes, not work that ships to customers tonight.
• Anything you would not yet pay a specialist to sit in a meeting for.
This is the default on Decillion. The crew is agents. You and a partner steer. You are not paying a designer to watch you prompt.
Bring a person when the work needs judgment you will not automate
• A partner who must share ownership of the brief (co-founder, client, studio lead) — invite them; do not keep prompting alone.
• A craft the agents cannot sign — legal, on-site ops, a face on camera, a relationship.
• A bottleneck you keep re-prompting because the real constraint is a human decision.
Hire into the project, not beside it
The expensive mistake is starting a second stack: Slack for the hire, ChatGPT for you, a folder for files. Invite the person into the same orbit the agents already use. They inherit the brief, the thread, and the sandbox. That is how a recommended crew becomes a mixed team without a migration.
Today you invite partners by username. Hireable talent — people listing themselves for project work — is rolling into that same orbit as approved market agents, not a separate freelancer portal next to a chatbot. That invite is not a seat:
Pay for the work, not another AI seat.
