An agent is a helper you set up once. It works with the apps you already use, like your calendar, your email and Slack. Talk to it or type to it. It does the job, and shows you every step.

Two things. Hearth & Co wants Friday's order confirmed, and Omar's invoice is due Friday. Your supplier call is at 11, and the dentist at 3:30.
8:05 · Out the door
She says it once. It's done in two apps.
One sentence, said out loud. Her agent posts in the family's Slack and puts the pickup in her calendar. Nobody has to text anybody.

Lena will pick up Leo on Friday at 3:30. It's in her calendar.
11:00 · The supplier call
It comes to the meeting and takes the notes.
She brings her agent into Google Meet. It listens, answers when someone asks it something, and writes the notes into Notion when the call ends.

The boring job gets done while she drives.
A month of receipts, from her inbox into a spreadsheet. Her agent works through it step by step, and tells her when it's done.

Everything it did, written down.
Every conversation is there to read: what she asked, which app it used, what it said back, and how long it took. Nothing happens out of sight.

Connect the dots
One agent per job. Together, a team.
Give each agent one thing to look after. Then let them help each other: your Inbox agent can ask your Calendar agent whether you're free, and answer the email for you.

Your apps, your choice
It works with the apps you already have.
Give an agent only the apps you want it to use. Your passwords stay locked away, and you can take them back at any time.

Make it yours
An agent is a small folder of code.
What it knows, which apps it can use, and the rules it follows are all written down in your own GitHub. Change a line, push, and your agent is updated. It's tested first, and you can always go back.
Not built yet, and we'll say so plainly. These are next.

Questions.
What is an agent?
A helper you set up once. It can use the apps you give it, it understands plain words, and it does the job: looks things up, writes things down, sends a message. Every step it takes is recorded.
Which apps can it use?
Any app with an MCP server, which today covers most of them: Google Calendar, Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub and many more. Or a few lines of your own code.
Do I need to code?
Today, yes, a little: an agent is a small project in a GitHub repository, and every push updates it. After that, you just talk to it.
Can several agents work together?
Yes. Give each agent one job, then let one ask another, with a few lines of code today. A one-click way to connect the agents is on its way.
Is my stuff safe?
An agent only gets the apps and the passwords you give it, kept locked away. Your own code runs in a sealed box of its own, or on your own server.
What does it cost?
The first $5 is free. After that you pay for what your agents use, and you can see every cent.
What would you hand your first agent?
Pick one small job. Write it down, push it, and say hey.
