Strategy: Building Vertical AI Agents for Niche Industries

Specialized AI agents trained for specific industries like law, healthcare, or finance are significantly more accurate than general-purpose AI. These "vertical agents" automate complex, domain-specific tasks by integrating with industry software and understanding unique data and compliance rules, leading to major efficiency gains.

## Before You Start

Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and directory structure
- Existing AI provider config (check .env, .env.local, config files for API keys — OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, etc.)

Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Which AI provider/API should this use? (Use whatever I already have configured, or ask me to set one up — options include direct provider APIs or a unified service like OpenRouter)
2. Where in my project should this be integrated?
3. Are there any customizations I need (model preferences, naming conventions, constraints)?

## What to Implement


## Additional Context

- Scan the project's files and directory structure to infer the user's business domain (e.g., `legal/`, `finance/`, `healthcare/`, or filenames like `EHR_integration.ts`). Prompt the user to confirm the inferred vertical.
- Identify domain-specific data sources and APIs for the confirmed vertical. Search public repositories for relevant datasets (e.g., financial market data, legal case law archives) and identify key industry software with APIs (e.g., Epic for healthcare, Clio for legal).
- Generate a reusable system prompt or a Claude Code skill (`.claude/skills/DOMAIN_EXPERT.md`) that incorporates key terminology, data formats, and compliance constraints for the identified vertical. Instruct the model to act as an expert in that specific domain for all subsequent tasks.

## Guidelines

- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Use whichever AI provider I already have configured; if I need a new one, tell me what to sign up for and I'll give you the key
- Check my .env files for existing API keys (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI) before asking me to add one
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it

MANUAL SETUP STEPS

01Scan the project's files and directory structure to infer the user's business domain (e.g., `legal/`, `finance/`, `healthcare/`, or filenames like `EHR_integration.ts`). Prompt the user to confirm the inferred vertical.
02Identify domain-specific data sources and APIs for the confirmed vertical. Search public repositories for relevant datasets (e.g., financial market data, legal case law archives) and identify key industry software with APIs (e.g., Epic for healthcare, Clio for legal).
03Generate a reusable system prompt or a Claude Code skill (`.claude/skills/DOMAIN_EXPERT.md`) that incorporates key terminology, data formats, and compliance constraints for the identified vertical. Instruct the model to act as an expert in that specific domain for all subsequent tasks.

FIELD OPERATIONS

Legal Demand Letter Generator

Develop an agent that ingests case details (e.g., accident reports, medical bills, victim impact statements) from a structured JSON file. The agent uses a jurisdiction-specific template and a knowledge base of local case law to generate a formatted demand letter, including calculations for damages.

Predictive Maintenance IoT Monitor

Create a workflow that ingests streaming data from IoT machine sensors (vibration, temperature, pressure). The agent analyzes the time-series data to detect anomalies that predict equipment failure and programmatically generates a maintenance ticket in a system like Jira, attaching relevant data charts and a recommended action.
