Operations

Meet the team
behind Midline

Midline runs on a lean, AI-assisted operations team coordinated through a single WhatsApp hub. Specialist agents handle research, content, outreach, analytics and operations — with human approval on every decision that touches a customer.

How we work

This team is built from the LeadLock AI blueprint: one assistant, a set of specialist agents, one shared brain, and a hard rule that every external action stops for human approval.

  • ✓One assistant in WhatsApp runs the whole team
  • ✓Each agent owns one job and does it well
  • ✓A shared knowledge base keeps context alive
  • ✓Human approval on every customer-facing action
  • ✓24/7 monitoring with morning & evening briefings
  • ✓No repeated research, no stale information

The Assistant

Chief of Staff

The single point of contact inside the WhatsApp Ops Hub. It takes a goal like 'process today's orders' or 'update the price list', breaks it into tasks, and dispatches each one to the right specialist. It sends morning and evening briefings and holds the approval line so nothing ships without a human yes.

  • —Decomposes goals into trackable tasks
  • —Dispatches work to specialists
  • —Morning & evening briefings
  • —Routes every external action for approval
