15-minute sessions with people who have done it before

Experience shouldn't retire.

Agely is an expert network where older adults turn decades of experience into paid, 15-minute sessions, and grow an AI engine of their own approved workflows.

English-language video. Demo: Margaret, a retired procurement director, helps Dev, a hardware founder, with his first manufacturing contract. Both are fictional, and the video was made with an AI video model.

Why Agely

Judgment doesn't retire

A career builds judgment that is hard to find anywhere else. Agely lets older adults keep contributing and earning, without building a website or writing a sales profile.

Short, focused help

A founder facing an unfamiliar decision books a short conversation with someone who has handled that exact problem. Sessions are priced in 15-minute units.

People decide

Agents propose profiles, prices, matches and workflows. People confirm publication, booking and approval. Every match explains its reasoning.

How one session happens

Follow Margaret and Dev from a first conversation to a paid session. Read down the page: each step sits under the person or agent who takes it. The pattern never changes. A person talks, an agent drafts, and nothing counts until the person confirms it.

1

Margaret describes her career

There is no form to fill in and no profile to write. Margaret talks, by voice or by picking a suggested reply, and an agent turns what she says into a profile.

  1. Margaret says

    “I ran procurement for an appliance maker in Ohio. Thirty-four years, the last twelve as director.”

  2. The onboarding agent drafts her profile

    Four skills, each showing where it came from:

    Contract manufacturing terms
    from the interview
    Supplier negotiation
    from the interview
    Supplier quality audits
    from her audit checklist
    Cost-down programmes
    from her CV

  3. Margaret decides

    She takes off “Cost-down programmes” because she would rather not do that work now, then publishes. Nothing goes live until she says so.

2

She sets her price

Pricing your own experience is hard, so the agent suggests a range and gives its reasons. The number is still Margaret's.

  1. The agent suggests

    $60–$90 per 15 minutes

    • 34 years in procurement, 12 as a director
    • Founders often ask about manufacturing terms, and few experts offer it
    • A mid-range start helps her collect first ratings quickly

  2. Margaret decides

    She confirms $60–$90. She can change it at any time.

3

Dev describes his problem

Dev doesn't search a directory. He explains what he is stuck on, and his agent writes the brief that experts will be matched against.

  1. Dev says

    “I'm about to sign our first contract with a manufacturer in Guadalajara, and I've never done this before.”

  2. The buyer's agent drafts his brief

    Problem
    Review the commercial terms of a first contract-manufacturing agreement before signing
    Time
    30 minutes
    Budget
    $50–$100 per 15 minutes

    The brief covers commercial terms only. Agely doesn't give legal advice.

  3. Dev decides

    He checks the brief, can edit any part of it, and confirms it.

4

Agely explains the match

An expert has to pass two tests: they list the skill the brief needs, and their price range overlaps the buyer's budget. Dev sees the reasoning, including why the other experts were not chosen.

  1. The matching agent explains

    Margaret is the match
    She lists “Contract manufacturing terms”, and the two ranges overlap at $60–$90.
    Harold is not
    His price fits, but he ran hospital operations and doesn't list this skill.
    Lin is not
    She has the skill, but charges above Dev's budget.

  2. Dev decides

    He reads the reasons and chooses to propose a session to Margaret.

5

They agree on a session

The two of them settle the details between themselves. The price has to sit inside the overlap, and nothing is booked or charged until Margaret accepts.

  1. Dev proposes

    30 minutes 2 × $75 per 15 minutes $150

  2. Margaret decides

    She accepts. She could also decline, and Dev would be told.

  3. Agely books it

    The session is confirmed and Dev's $150 is held. It is released to Margaret once the session has taken place. In this prototype the payment is simulated.

6

Margaret's engine grows

After the session, a short debrief captures how Margaret approached the problem. Her method becomes a reusable workflow that belongs to her.

  1. The debrief agent asks

    “What do you always ask first when you read one of these agreements?”

  2. Margaret says

    “What's the minimum order, who owns the tooling, and when do they get paid.”

  3. The agent drafts a workflow

    First read of a contract-manufacturing agreement

    3 questions
    such as “Who owns the tooling and moulds?”
    3 checks
    such as “Price increases need notice and have a cap”
    3 watch-outs
    such as “Industry-standard quality” with no definition

  4. Margaret decides

    She approves the workflow, and only then is it added to her engine.
