Task Machine vs Hyperagent

You want agents to run real work, beyond the occasional one-off. Hyperagent and Task Machine both offer that, and both connect to the accounts and tools you already own. They differ on the shape of the work and how it reaches you: an agent that hands you a finished, self-updating deliverable, or recurring operations you direct and approve from one Inbox.

What Hyperagent does well

Hyperagent promises "deliverables that stay alive, using your data, your tools, and your style." You brief an agent, and it researches, builds, and then keeps a finished artifact current, such as a website, a deck, a document, or a dashboard. Each agent has its own computing environment, every search, decision, and artifact is visible, and agents learn new memories and skills as they work. You can reach them from Slack, Telegram, a webhook, or a schedule, and example artifacts show their run time and cost. Hyperagent publishes no pricing.

If what you want is to describe an outcome and get back a living deliverable that an agent maintains, that is a genuine strength.

A living deliverable, or directed operations

Hyperagent's unit of work is a deliverable. You ask for a thing, an agent builds it, and then it keeps the thing current. That maps cleanly onto artifacts with a clear finished shape, such as a site that reflects this week's inventory or a dashboard that refreshes.

Task Machine's unit of work is an operation you direct. The recurring work that runs a business, such as outreach, content, client reports, the support queue, and follow-ups, is a repeatable process with judgment calls along the way. Task Machine turns that process into an explicit workflow and routes the judgment calls to you.

Reviewing a result, or approving before it ships

With Hyperagent you brief an agent, it runs, and you review the deliverable. For clearly scoped output that is fast and often enough.

Task Machine works the other way around. You decide in Chat, approve in the Inbox, and steer in Tasks. Each workflow has Human approval and Ask human steps where you place them, and verifier checks send failed work back with feedback, so an email to a client or a published page waits for you before it goes out. Every run keeps a step-by-step history you can read afterwards.

What you get with Task Machine

Recurring work from one Inbox. Approvals, questions, failed checks, and exceptions from every workflow arrive in one place with their context.

A starting point for each job. A catalog of 140 playbooks, each with a guide, installs the agents, workflows, and documents for jobs such as outreach, reporting, and support.

Your accounts, your costs. Agents act through accounts you own and run in the Cloud by default or on a computer you connect. Pricing starts at $99 a month. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut, and it never custodies your accounts.

When each fits

Choose Hyperagent if the job is a living deliverable, such as a site, a dashboard, or a document, that you want an agent to build and keep current, and reviewing the result is enough control for the stakes.

Choose Task Machine if the job is recurring operations you want to direct, with the consequential steps of every run waiting for your approval in one Inbox and a record of what each step did.
