Who Should Read

Developers who want to hand off repetitive work to agents but rely on internal tools with no API or MCP

Core Mechanics

Each Bot has its own cloud computer
- Bots sign into apps, tools, and websites from their own computer.
- They reportedly work with platforms that have no clean API or MCP.
- Jobs keep running while you are away.
You hand off work by messaging
- You message a Bot from phone or desktop like texting a colleague.
- The post contrasts this with tools that require building workflows first.
- Bots come back only when approval is needed.
Showing a task turns it into a routine
- Ask the Bot to follow along the next time you do a job.
- It saves the steps as a routine and applies your corrections.
- Next time it runs the routine on its own.
Multiple Bots coordinate with each other
- Bots message each other and share context in threads.
- In group chats they pass work and assign ownership.

How to Apply

Pick one repetitive no-API task
- Choose a recurring task your team does only through a UI, with no API or MCP.
- Write its input, steps, and approval points in five lines.
- Use this as the baseline when you demo or instruct an agent.
Define approval points first
- List the steps where a human must confirm before the agent continues.
- Include hard-to-undo actions like sending email, payments, or closing tickets.
- Require drafts only for those until a human approves.
Split Bot roles by lane
- Separate owners for lanes like inbox, expenses, and bug fixes.
- Give each the minimum accounts and permissions.
- Start the beta test with a single lane.

# Paste into Claude or ChatGPT (simplified version of the post's idea: writing a delegation spec for an agent)

I want to hand a repetitive task to an AI agent. Turn the task below into a routine spec the agent can complete end to end, with human-approval points separated out.

Task description: {{describe the task in the order a human does it}}
Tools used: {{CRM, Gmail, etc.}}

Output format:
1. Numbered step-by-step procedure
2. Input and output of each step
3. Hard-to-undo actions and where approval is required
4. Conditions under which the agent should ask a human

Next step: pull out only item 3 and agree on approval rules with your team.

Terminology

MCPA standard protocol that lets AI models access external tools and data. Like a USB port that unifies how things connect.

AgentAn AI that uses tools to carry out multi-step work rather than only answering questions.

RoutineA procedure the Bot saves after watching you do a task. Like it writing its own manual.

CRMA system for managing customer and sales records.
