Switch from AI Workers to Task Machine

AI Workers by Delos hires you persona workers — Laura in sales, Sophie on prospecting, Henry as an exec assistant — each with its own email address, phone number, and personality, so your contacts "interact with them without knowing it's AI." Task Machine takes the opposite bet: agents that act transparently through accounts you own, and never masquerade as people.

Why do people switch from AI Workers?

• Your clients find out eventually. A worker that passes as a human employee — calling your clients, emailing from its own identity — puts your name behind the impersonation when it surfaces. Task Machine agents send from your accounts as what they are.
• "Escalates only when needed" means the agent decides what needs you. Workers runs on goals-not-prompts autonomy and surfaces things at its own judgment. Task Machine inverts that: approval, question, and verifier steps are placed in the workflow by you, and autonomy levels per agent, project, or goal decide what runs without review — controlled autonomy instead of black-box autonomy.
• Their machines, their identities — your business. Workers run "on their own machines, not yours," with their own email and phone. Task Machine agents run on machines you connect and act through accounts you own — you keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut and never custodies your accounts.
• A dashboard shows activity, but run history shows why. Workers' real-time dashboard tells you your workers are busy. Task Machine's deterministic, verifiable workflows record step-level run history, so you can see what every step did, what was approved, and what the verifier checked.

What maps to what?

What do you give up?

Honesty first: Workers' channel presence is something Task Machine doesn't have — native phone, Slack, and Teams, including outbound calls and follow-ups to your clients — and its hire-and-go onboarding puts a worker on the job in under five minutes with no setup. Task Machine has no phone presence, and getting started means connecting your own accounts and a worker. If an agent your customers can call matters more than the identity question, Workers delivers that today.

How does the switch work?

1. Join the Task Machine waitlist and connect a workspace to accounts you own — your email, CRM, and Stripe — through connectors, so agents act as your business rather than as invented colleagues.
2. Pick the playbooks that match the workers you were running (sales, prospecting, content, SEO, assistant work) — each installs the agents, workflows, and documents for that job.
3. Set autonomy levels low to start: every client-facing send waits for approval in your inbox, and you raise autonomy where an agent proves itself.
4. Connect a worker on a machine you control, schedule the recurring workflows, and set token and money budgets with 80% and 100% alerts.

Common questions

Will my contacts know they're dealing with an agent?

Messages come from your own accounts, drafted by agents and gated by the approval steps you set. Nothing pretends to be a person — what your contacts see is your business writing to them, with you in the loop.

Can Task Machine make phone calls like Workers?

No. There is no phone channel. Outreach and follow-ups run through accounts you connect, such as email — if outbound calling is essential, Workers covers ground we don't.

How is this different from just hiring another "worker"?

Workers sells headcount: personas with identities and initiative. Task Machine sells an operating layer — the three-surface workflow (chat, inbox, tasks) over deterministic, verifiable workflows — where the point isn't who the agent pretends to be, but that the work is directed, reviewed, and on record.
