AI teammates you can give real work to.

This is the whole app

The sidebar is the roster. A room like Monday is a group chat where you give the week to more than one Bot at once: Inbox Manager sorts, Expense Manager closes receipts, Chief of Staff names the two decisions that are actually yours. Nothing goes out without you.

It looks like a team that already ran. Chief of Staff stayed quiet if nothing changed. Inbox Manager left four reply drafts and sent none of them. When a send comes up, the Bot stops: not yet, or send. Click a name. Type if you want — it still waits.

What you will have by the end

Two things. Not a fleet, not a workflow builder.

1. 1

   A Bot doing a job you already do

   One Bot, one job, and a description you wrote yourself.

2. 2

   A rule about when it has to ask

   If it is about to send, publish, buy, delete, or sign, it stops. Everything up to that point it does on its own.

Pick one job

Start with a job someone in the room already owns. The three that teach the pattern:

Five words you will see in the app

That is the whole vocabulary. Models, context windows, and sandboxes never come up.

1. 1. Bot

   A teammate with a name, its own memory, its own computer, and its own tools.

   Example: Chief of Staff

2. 2. Chat

   Where you talk to one Bot, or to a group of them.

   Example: Message Chief of Staff

3. 3. Prompt

   An instruction. Use it once, save it as a skill, or schedule it as a routine.

   Example: Every weekday at 8:00

4. 4. Tool

   How a Bot reaches software: a plugin, the browser, the shell, or its computer.

   Example: Gmail · Slack · Chrome

5. 5. Artifact

   What the Bot leaves behind: a document, a draft, a sheet, a change to code.

   Example: weekly-summary.md

Create a Chief of Staff and one specialist

You only talk to one Bot. Chief of Staff routes work and reports back. The specialist is the job the room picked — Inbox, Expense, or Sales Outbound. The description field is enough to create it. Plugins and the approval rule come next.

You are my Chief of Staff. Watch my calendar, Slack, and inbox.

Stay quiet if nothing changed. When something needs me, say what is done, what is blocked, and the one decision only I can make.

Never, without asking: send, publish, buy, delete, or sign.

Plugins are how a Bot gets into your apps

Open Settings → Plugins in the app. Type @ in chat to attach a connector, and / for a saved skill. This directory lists bots by the tools they work with. Browse integrations or pick the tools you already use.

Set what it has to ask before doing

Set once, in Settings. Require approval for the actions that leave the building — send, publish, buy, delete, or sign. Always allow the ones that only read or draft. When two rules collide, require approval wins.

You are not done setting up until you have watched the Bot stop and ask you once. Draft an email, let it reach Send, and confirm the conversation shows it waiting. Official detail: Approvals, security, and privacy.

When a login comes up, you type the password, not the Bot

You take over its screen, type the password or the code, and hand it back. Nothing you typed ends up in the chat.

Write the first task in five parts

Write all five before you press enter. The Bot does exactly the job you described, so say where it should stop as carefully as what it should do.

The first result is something you can check, not something already done. Inbox or Sales hands you a list of drafts — nothing sent. Expense hands you a sorted list of receipts — nothing paid.

Routines

run on schedule, laptop open or not

Most AI agents run on your laptop, so they stop when you close it. A Bot runs on its own computer. Close the laptop and it keeps going.

Most tools assume you have one email and one Slack. A Bot's computer can be signed into all of yours at once — four addresses, seven workspaces — and one Bot reads them in one place. See Use the computer and apps.

Each Bot has its own memory. They all share one computer.

Shared logins make handoffs between Bots easy. They also mean a second Bot adds no safety. Telling a Bot which plugins to use is an instruction, not a lock.

If you want the Bot to remember something, put it in a file.

# Rules that change
- Sarah is in Berlin. European hours.
- Receipts over 200 need a project code.
- Q3 travel goes to cost centre 41.

# Ask before
- Any reimbursement
- Any message to a vendor

Rules that last go in the Bot's description. Facts that change go in a file, and the description tells the Bot to reread it.

Start with two Bots. Not five.

Before you leave tonight

1. 1. Create Chief of Staff

   Write the description in your own words. Keep the line about asking first.

2. 2. Create one specialist

   Inbox Manager, Expense Manager, or Sales Outbound. Add the plugins it needs.

3. 3. Run one task with all five parts

   Then ask it to send one draft, and watch it stop.

If the Bot did not stop at step three, fix Settings before you give it a second job.

The terminal output stays in Cursor. Only the result comes back to the chat.

Give it something you already hate doing

Open x.ai/bot, create the two Bots, run one five-part task, and watch it stop. Then pick a template from this directory so you are not starting from a blank description.

When a setup works, share the template so someone else can import it. Showcase is for the 𝕏 posts. The original slides stay up if you want the deck form.
