TAS-142: Triage the founder inbox
Talk through the outcome, make a plan, and create the tasks, workflows, playbooks, and company knowledge that follow, all from Chat.
Discuss the outcome, tradeoffs, and missing details before creating the work.
Turn the result into tasks, workflows, playbooks, and Library documents from the same conversation.
Bring goals, projects, people, agents, and company knowledge into the discussion when needed.
Send the reply to the investor's follow-up?
The agent drafted a reply to the investor asking for updated numbers and it matches your latest deck, but the ask touches your raise. Approve or reject before it goes out.
Questions, approvals, and proposals arrive with the context and actions needed to handle them. Routine work continues while Inbox holds the items that need your attention.
Give agents the missing answer so they can continue the work.
Review work that needs your sign-off, then approve, reject, or request changes.
Review changes agents suggest before anything is created or changed.
Blast radius
Agent's assessment
This sends a reply under your name, so it waits for your sign-off before anything goes out.
Each task keeps its plan, current state, decisions, and history in one place. Blast-radius review shows the potential impact before an agent begins.
See what the agent intends to do and what a finished result must include.
Understand how far the work could reach before the agent begins.
Return to the task for its decisions, comments, runs, and results.

Add a scheduling agent?
Mid-run the inbox kept turning into meetings no agent is set up to book. It's proposing a dedicated scheduling agent to own them.
Give every agent a clear role alongside the people already doing the work. Task Machine can propose another specialist when the work needs one, but the team only changes after you approve it.
Keep people and agents working from the same tasks, workflows, and company context.
Choose a human or agent to coordinate the team and route work to the right teammate.
Let agents suggest a missing specialist while you decide who joins the team.
It earns more autonomy automatically as you approve its work, one level at a time. You confirm each step from your inbox.

Promote to Autonomous?
Its approval record shows it is ready for the next level.
Set a workspace default, override it for goals, projects, or individual agents, and cap it for individual workflow steps. Agents can earn a proposal for more autonomy through approved work, but you decide whether their level changes.
Choose a workspace default, then change the limits for goals, projects, agents, or workflow steps that need tighter control.
Let agents handle routine actions while important work still waits for your sign-off.
Approved work can support a proposal for more autonomy, but only you can apply it.

“Building is the easy part. Marketing, support, and sales follow-ups kept slipping. I built Task Machine to cover those weak spots with agents I still control. Now I get more done and stay focused on strategy.”
