# Agile Growth Labs > Agile Growth Labs helps AI-native agencies take on more client accounts without hiring, by giving every tool and teammate one shared client file to work from. Who it is for: Established agencies at $2M to $10M with more demand than delivery capacity. Portable Delivery Intelligence is each client's strategy, rules, priorities and approvals kept in one place and connected to the AI tools an agency already uses (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity). The client context travels with the work, so the team stops re-briefing AI and re-explaining clients. Who it is for: agencies with $2M to $10M in annual revenue, recurring services, a real delivery team, 15 or more active clients, and AI already in client work. Not for agencies whose main problem is lead generation. ## Core pages - [Partner Program](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners): The AGL partner program is for people who already advise agencies: COOs, HubSpot and RevOps consultants, automation builders, project management consultants, AI consultants and M&A advisors. You bring AGL in when an agency is maxed out. AGL installs Portable Delivery Intelligence. You stay the advisor. - [Agency COOs](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/agency-coos): AGL partners with fractional and full-time agency COOs. You own the process, people and priorities. AGL installs Portable Delivery Intelligence so client context, tasks, approvals, QA and proof of work follow your process across every AI tool the team uses. You keep your role. - [HubSpot and RevOps](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/hubspot-revops): AGL partners with HubSpot consultants and RevOps consultants who serve agencies. You own the CRM, pipeline and reporting. AGL installs Portable Delivery Intelligence for client delivery: context, tasks, approvals, QA and proof of work. AGL works alongside HubSpot. It is not a HubSpot app and not a HubSpot partner. - [Automation consultants](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/automation-consultants): AGL partners with n8n, Make and Zapier builders who serve agencies. Your automations move the work. Portable Delivery Intelligence keeps the client context, approvals, QA and proof of work the automations depend on. AGL is not an official partner of n8n, Make or Zapier. - [Project management consultants](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/project-management-consultants): AGL partners with ClickUp, Asana, Monday and Teamwork consultants who serve agencies. You own the boards and workflows. AGL installs Portable Delivery Intelligence so each task carries the client context, approvals, QA and proof of work behind it. AGL does not replace the project tool and is not an official partner of any of them. - [AI implementation consultants](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/ai-implementation-consultants): AGL partners with AI implementation consultants who work with agencies. You own the AI strategy, training and adoption. AGL installs Portable Delivery Intelligence, the cross-LLM layer that keeps client context, approvals, QA and proof of work consistent after the rollout. AGL is not an official OpenAI, Anthropic or Google partner. - [Agency M&A and PE](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/agency-ma-pe): AGL partners with agency M&A advisors, roll-up advisers, independent sponsors and PE operating partners. You own the deal and the thesis. AGL installs Portable Delivery Intelligence in the agency, so client delivery runs from a written, reviewed system. AGL does not broker deals or give valuations. - [Design Partner Program](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/design-partner-program): The AGL Design Partner Program is early access for partners who advise agencies. Design partners bring 1 real agency client, refer or co-deliver an install of Portable Delivery Intelligence, and give feedback that shapes the referral and install programs. Access is by application. - [Referral Program (Proposed)](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/referral-program): The AGL Referral Program is a proposed program for people who know agencies at capacity. You make the intro. AGL maps 1 client account with the agency. Referral terms are set in writing before the intro. The program is not live yet. - [Certified Install Program (Proposed)](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/certified-install-program): The AGL Certified Install Program is a proposed path for partners who want to run Portable Delivery Intelligence installs themselves. It is planned in 4 stages: learn, shadow, run with review, then certify. No partner is certified today. Design partners get the first look. - [Apply to partner](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/partners/apply): Tell us how you work with agencies. If it is a fit, we will email you to set a short call. Terms are set in writing on that call. - [Homepage](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/): The offer. Take on more client accounts without hiring. - [What Is Portable Delivery Intelligence?](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/portable-delivery-intelligence): Portable Delivery Intelligence is the cross-LLM and cross-platform context, task, approval, QA, and proof-of-work layer that carries client context across the tools an agency already uses. The client context travels with the work. Nobody re-briefs the AI. Nobody re-explains the client. That is how 1 account manager carries 18 to 25 accounts instead of 4 to 8. - [Agency capacity](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/agency-capacity): Why account managers cap at 4 to 8 accounts, and how to raise it. - [AI tools](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/ai): Free AGL Agency Capacity MCP connector (https://connect.agilegrowthlabs.com/capacity, no login) and Claude skills for agency teams. - [Capacity Leak Calculator](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/capacity-leak-calculator): Estimate what re-briefing, chasing approvals and fixing AI work costs an agency each year.

Portable Delivery Intelligence keeps it with the work. - [For Paid Media Agencies](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/for/paid-media-agencies): Each buyer caps on accounts.

Portable Delivery Intelligence keeps that record current, so every writer and AI tool starts from the same client context. - [For Email and Lifecycle Agencies](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/for/lifecycle-agencies): Flows, segments, brand rules and claims rules travel with the work across every tool. Portable Delivery Intelligence keeps that record current, so each send starts with the client context your team already approved. - [For PE and Portfolio Companies](https://agilegrowthlabs.com/portfolio-growth-system): Build capacity and keep the client record when people change.
