Task Machine vs Delos

You want AI agents to handle real business work across sales, prospecting, content, support, and operations. Delos and Task Machine both address that need, and they organize the work differently. Delos starts with a specialized AI worker and a goal. Task Machine starts with shared tasks and explicit workflows that define where agents act and where people review.

What does Delos do well?

Delos offers AI workers for business roles across sales, marketing, finance, content, design, engineering, legal, and operations. Each worker has a professional identity with a name, its own email address, a phone number, and a digital computer, along with specialized skills and memory. Delos says workers operate around the clock, work through Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, and phone, and connect to more than 3,000 tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, and Jira.

The setup is deliberately quick. Delos says a business can deploy its first worker in under five minutes and give it goals instead of prompts. That fits a job that naturally belongs to one role, where channel presence matters more than modeling the whole process.

On its AI Workers pricing page, Delos lists a Team plan at €50 per month for 40,000 credits and tailored Enterprise pricing.

How do you stay in control?

Delos puts control around the worker through goals, access, activity, and escalation. Task Machine puts control into the process itself. Recurring work runs as an explicit workflow with branch conditions, Human approval and Ask human steps, verifier checks, and a step-by-step history. Chat sets direction, the Inbox gathers decisions, and Tasks keep the detailed state.

The identity model differs too. Delos gives each AI worker its own professional identity and channels. Task Machine agents work through accounts the business owns, with disclosure and approval requirements set in the task or workflow. Task Machine is the stronger fit when ownership, handoffs, and review points must stay readable whichever agent does the work.

What do you get with Task Machine?

Chat, Inbox, and Tasks. Chat handles direction and new work, the Inbox gathers approvals, questions, reviews, and exceptions, and Tasks hold the detailed record of each job.

Gates you place. Workflows make branches and gates explicit, so you choose where a person or a verifier check must sign off before work continues.

Accounts you own. Agents act through connected business accounts, under your company's own name.

Shared work across people and agents. A process can cross several roles while its state stays in one shared record.

When does each fit?

Choose Delos if you want a quickly deployed, role-based AI worker with its own email, phone, memory, and presence across business tools.

Choose Task Machine if you want recurring work run as explicit tasks and workflows, with approval steps and verifier checks, one Inbox for decisions, and a lasting record of every run.

Common questions

Does Task Machine give agents their own email and phone like Delos? No. Task Machine agents work through accounts you connect and own. Delos is the better fit when a separate professional identity and phone presence are requirements.

Can I decide what requires approval? Yes. Workflows place approval and question steps and verifier checks at the exact points where judgment or checking is needed, and autonomy levels control which actions can proceed without another decision.

How is Task Machine's control different from goal-based autonomy? Task Machine records the process as a workflow and keeps each step, branch, gate, and result. You review the process and its exceptions instead of relying only on a worker's goal and activity view.
