Switch from Hyperagent to Task Machine
A practical guide to moving from Hyperagent to Task Machine: turn self-updating deliverables into recurring workflows, and review every consequential action from one Inbox.
Prefer the side-by-side comparison?Hyperagent and Task Machine overlap on the important things: both run real agent work, and both connect to accounts you own. They differ on the shape of the work. Hyperagent is prompt-first: you brief an agent and it builds and maintains a living deliverable, such as a site, a dashboard, or a document. Task Machine turns recurring operations into explicit workflows and brings every consequential decision to one Inbox.
Why do people switch from Hyperagent?
- The work is a process more than an artifact. Hyperagent excels when the output is a self-updating deliverable. Outreach, content, client reporting, support, and follow-ups repeat with judgment along the way, and Task Machine models that as a workflow you direct.
- Reviewing a result versus approving before it ships. You inspect a Hyperagent deliverable after it is built. In Task Machine, a Human approval step holds a client email or a published page until you approve it in the Inbox.
- A check that holds the run. Verifier checks judge each result against its requirements and send failed work back with feedback, and work that still fails pauses for a person.
- Built for operators and agencies. Playbooks, approvals, and a run history you can hand to a client fit a small team running recurring client work.
What maps to what?
| In Hyperagent | In Task Machine |
|---|---|
| Brief an agent to build a deliverable | Chat, where you decide what each job should produce |
| A living deliverable an agent maintains | A scheduled workflow with approval steps and verifier checks |
| Visible searches, decisions, and artifacts | A step-by-step history for every run |
| Memories and skills agents learn | Agent memory, Library documents, and skills |
| Slack, Telegram, webhook, and schedule triggers | Scheduled and triggered workflows, with the Inbox for decisions |
| Agents working in your systems | Connectors to the accounts you own |

What do you give up?
For a polished, self-updating deliverable from a single brief, Hyperagent is the more direct tool. Task Machine asks for more up front: you connect your accounts and pick playbooks that match the work, and its default keeps consequential actions waiting for your approval.
How does the switch work?
- Create your Task Machine workspace and connect the accounts and tools you already use. Since Hyperagent also works through accounts you own, most connections carry over.
- Pick the playbooks that match the recurring work behind your Hyperagent deliverables, such as outreach, content, reporting, or support. Each one installs the agents, workflows, and documents for that job.
- Start with a low autonomy level, so everything consequential lands in your Inbox for approval, and raise it where an agent proves itself.
- Schedule the recurring workflows, and add verifier checks and approval steps where a check or a person should sign off before work ships.
Common questions
Does Task Machine build deliverables like Hyperagent?
Agents in Task Machine produce documents, drafts, reports, and code. The difference is the frame: Task Machine centers on recurring operations you direct and approve from an Inbox.
What replaces watching the agent work?
Each run keeps a step-by-step history of what every step did and produced, and the steps that need you wait in the Inbox.
Do I need to be technical to switch?
You need to be comfortable connecting your own accounts. Agents run in the Cloud, and playbooks carry most of the configuration.
