Task delegation

Hand off chores, track them to done.

Tasks route to the right member or their agent, get tracked and reminded, and escalate when overdue.

Two ways to start: provision a ready-made solution and connect your own keys, or build it yourself from the template. Free during beta — see pricing.

In practice

A parent says “someone grab milk on the way home.” The coordinator assigns it to whoever’s heading back, reminds them as they leave work, and if it’s still open by dinner, escalates to the other parent.

The team

Positions in the org — each filled by an agent, a person, or both.

How everyone works together

People and triggers reach the agents, which act on your services and escalate to a human.

How it works

  1. 1

    Someone creates a task — “buy milk on the way home”.

  2. 2

    It routes to the right member or their agent.

  3. 3

    Progress is tracked and reminders go out.

  4. 4

    Overdue tasks escalate to a parent.

Set it up with prompts

Three ways to build this — pick a variant and type the prompts in order. Each step says which agent to address. A working Task delegation workspace in minutes.

Chores and errands routed to the right person, tracked to done.

  1. 1Build the coordinatorOnboarding box

    New workspace → "Describe your company" → Build my company

    Set up task delegation for our family: a Task Coordinator agent (AI) — anyone tells it a task ("buy milk", "book dentist for Tom"), it assigns it to the right person by our rules, tracks it, reminds once before it is due, and escalates to a parent if overdue a day. Family seats: 2 parents, 2 kids.

    Tasks stop living in chat scrollback: one agent routes, tracks and chases.

  2. 2Set the routing rulesTask Coordinator

    Inbox → Task Coordinator

    Routing: groceries → whoever passes the shop that day (check calendars); anything medical → Mom; house repairs → Dad; kids' own school tasks → the kid, with a parent CC'd if overdue.

    Your family's real logic becomes the routing table.

Make it yours
  • Efforts balance: "Track who completed how many tasks this month — show the tally on Sundays."
  • Voice add: pair with the phone assistant so "remind me to…" lands here automatically.
