# Industry & Specialized (/use-cases/industry-specialized)



These aren't hypothetical industry templates. They're the verticals Helio's own users are actually running. Each one pairs a real role with a real recurring job, not a generic SOP.

## What an AI teammate can do here [#what-an-ai-teammate-can-do-here]

* **Social media**: a real launch plan for a new account, or a Voice Guide, scan-and-post cadence, and reply drafts for an existing one growing toward more followers
* **E-commerce**: scan a category's real bestseller list on Amazon, not your own sales history, and flag what's trending that you don't carry
* **Recruiting**: source and screen candidates against a real bar, with reasoning attached to every pick
* **Academic writing**: a versioned thesis file that survives months of sessions, with every citation traceable or explicitly flagged "unconfirmed"
* **Solo founder**: a full bench across marketing, support, and ops, so one person can run what would normally take a small team

## A typical workflow [#a-typical-workflow]

**You're launching a new social account.** Give your teammate the positioning and voice, and they turn it into a real launch plan, not scattershot posts. Once it's running, they scan for what's trending, draft replies in a voice built from your own past posts, and work the comments the way a real account manager would.

**You need to know what's actually trending in the market, not just what already sold.** Point your researcher teammate at a category on Amazon. They scan the real bestseller list, cross-reference it against your own catalog to spot gaps, and run a recurring scan that alerts you the moment rankings shift.
