Switch from Multica to Task Machine
How to move from Multica to Task Machine: run outreach, content, reports, and support alongside coding work, with explicit workflows and one Inbox.
Prefer the side-by-side comparison?Multica is a source-available platform that turns coding agents into teammates: you assign tasks, track progress, and manage people and agents in one place, with more than 20 AI coding tools. Its headline is "Your next 10 hires won't be human." Task Machine points agents at the rest of the company as well: outreach, content, client reports, and support, with code as one kind of work.
Why do people switch from Multica?
- Issues cover the codebase. An issue tracker suits shipping code and fits outreach, content, reporting, and support less well. Task Machine's catalog of 140 playbooks across 17 categories installs the agents, workflows, and documents for that work directly.
- Tracking where work is versus checking it was done right. Task Machine runs explicit workflows with approval and question steps, verifier checks, and a step-by-step run history.
- Client-facing work needs a gate. When agents touch prospects and clients, a Human approval step holds the send until you approve it in the Inbox.
- You run a business more than an engineering team. Task Machine is built for operators running a business on accounts they own. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut, and it never custodies your accounts.
What maps to what?
| In Multica | In Task Machine |

| Tasks and their progress | Tasks backed by explicit workflows |
| Blockers and progress updates | Inbox questions and approvals, with a run history |
| Reusable skills | Skills, plus a catalog of 140 playbooks |
| 20+ AI coding tools | Cloud agents, or tamacode on a computer you connect with your own subscriptions |
| Cloud or self-hosted deployment | A hosted workspace connected to accounts you own |

What do you give up?
For engineering-team coordination, Multica goes deeper: coding agents as first-class teammates across more than 20 tools, a desktop app, and self-hosting for teams that need it. If your work is a team of engineers shipping software together, Multica fits that shape better.
How does the switch work?
- Create your Task Machine workspace and connect the accounts you own, such as email, Stripe, and repositories.
- Keep your coding work: let agents run in the Cloud, or connect a computer you control and point agents at your repositories.
- Add the business side by picking playbooks for outreach, content, client reports, or support. Each one installs the agents, workflows, and documents for that job.
- Start with a low autonomy level, put approval steps before anything client-facing, and schedule the recurring workflows you want running each week.
Common questions
Can Task Machine still run my coding agents?
Yes. Coding tasks run in the Cloud or on a computer you connect, and they get the same treatment as other work: approvals, verifier checks, and a run history.
What replaces issues and their states?
Tasks, goals, and workflow runs. A workflow defines the steps up front, including where you approve, answer, or verify, and every run records what each step did.
Is Task Machine self-hostable like Multica?
No. Task Machine is hosted. If self-hosting the whole system is a requirement, Multica is the better match.
