# The Agent Workforce Behind Xeli AI | Xeli AI
> Xeli is not one model. Specialist agents for strategy, copy, art direction, motion, QA and media handoff pass work to each other with a human in the loop.

A single prompt to a single model gives you a single opinion. Real creative work is a relay: someone decides the angle, someone writes it, someone designs it, someone checks it, someone ships it.
Xeli mirrors that structure. Each agent owns a narrow job, hands off explicitly, and leaves a trace you can read. When output is wrong you can see which step made the call, which is the difference between a tool you can debug and a slot machine.

## Why one-shot generation plateaus
- Prompts that try to do strategy, copy, layout and compliance at once do all four adequately and none well.
- There is no audit trail, so a bad output teaches you nothing.
- Quality control is whatever the reviewer notices at the end.
- Learning does not accumulate, because nothing is separated enough to improve independently.

## How it works
1. **Strategist** — Reads the catalog, the season and past performance, then decides the angle and the audience for each SKU.
2. **Copywriter** — Writes headline, primary text and captions inside the tone rules and character limits of the placement.
3. **Art director** — Chooses layout, crop, colour role and hierarchy using brand tokens rather than free-form styling.
4. **Motion** — Builds the beat sheet and animates the cut for each vertical and square placement.
5. **QA** — Checks contrast, safe zones, claims, disclaimers and spec compliance, and sends failures back with reasons.
6. **Media handoff** — Names, packages and pushes approved assets, then reports live performance back into scoring.

## What you get
- **Model routing**: Each task goes to the model best suited to it rather than one general model doing everything adequately.
- **Readable handoffs**: Every step logs what it decided and why, so a reviewer can correct the cause rather than the symptom.
- **Human in the loop**: Approval gates can sit at brief, at creative or at publish, depending on how much autonomy you want to grant.
- **Learning loop**: Live results return to the strategist and scoring agents, so next month's briefs start from this month's evidence.

## Where it stops
- Autonomy is opt-in. By default nothing publishes without human approval, and we recommend keeping it that way for the first few cycles.
- Agents follow your rules, so vague rules produce inconsistent output. The setup hour matters.
- This is a creative pipeline, not a media buying autopilot. Budget and bidding strategy stay with your team.

### Which models does Xeli use?
It is model-agnostic and routes per task across leading image, video and language models, so a change in the frontier does not require a change in your workflow.

### Can we see what each agent did?
Yes. Every asset has a trace showing the brief, the decisions and the QA result behind it.

### What happens when an agent gets it wrong?
QA catches mechanical failures automatically. For judgement calls, a reviewer rejects with a note and that note becomes a rule rather than a one-off fix.
