Who does what
You never define an agent, write a schedule or pick a team. You describe what you want in your own words and the Chief of staff proposes how it will be done, as a card you accept or change.
Where you talk to it
- Home. Type what you want. Leave it to the Chief of staff to route, or pick the project it belongs to.
- A project’s feed. Message asks the crew something or hands it work. Steer sets direction (“focus on enterprise, stop the SMB posts”), and the steer is kept word for word as the project’s direction. See Projects.
- The Inbox. Everything that needs you.
What reaches you
The agents stop only when they need you, and when they do, it lands in the Inbox as one of three kinds of item:
Work the agents did on their own, and work already approved and moving, is shown as well, so you can see it, but it asks nothing of you.
The agents also report without being asked: a short brief on mornings when there is something to show, and, every week, each project’s Chief of staff posts what its crew did and what moved.
Nothing irreversible without your yes
Every action an agent can take is classified by whether it can be undone. Reversible work, such as opening a draft pull request or drafting an article, can happen on its own. Anything that cannot be taken back stops for your yes. How much happens before that stop is your workspace’s approval mode: ask, draft or act. A project can be set stricter than its workspace, never looser. Two kinds of action stay yours unless you hand them over:- Merging. We open pull requests; you merge or close them. We merge only if you switch on auto-merge for safe changes, and then only safe changes such as structured data, meta tags, alt text and internal links.
- Sending. Outreach goes from your own mailbox, never ours. A pitch is drafted into your Drafts for you to send. The agent can send pitches for you only in act mode, and only after the first ten have gone out by hand. See Off-site work.
