Hand off the things you'd give to a human assistant — in plain language, from any channel. Atona figures out the steps, executes them, and reports back when it's done.
In this guide: how tasks differ from workflows, what Atona will do without asking, and how to keep tabs on what's running.
A task is a single goal you'd rather not handle yourself. "Find me three plumbers and book the best one." "Refund the order from last week." "Get the contract from Sarah and send it to my lawyer." You describe the goal. Atona figures out the steps, runs them, and asks you only when it can't proceed.
Tasks finish in minutes or hours. Anything that needs to span days or branches across multiple people becomes a workflow instead.
Anything you'd hand to a smart assistant.
Find me three plumbers and book the best one.
Refund the order from last week.
Email everyone I haven't talked to in three months.
What are you working on right now?
In plain language, from any channel. No structure required — just say what you want done.
Atona breaks the goal into the actual actions — search, draft, send, wait, confirm — and decides which to do automatically and which need your call.
Sending emails, scheduling, calling, looking things up, summarizing. Each step is logged.
When the task is done, Atona summarizes what happened in your morning brief — or immediately, if you asked it to.
Tell Atona when something is urgent. It prioritizes accordingly.
Require Atona to check with you before taking specific kinds of actions — sending email to a new contact, anything involving money, anything irreversible.
Cap how many times Atona will retry something before escalating to you.
Stop a task in flight. Atona reports what it had done up to that point.
Tasks finish quickly — minutes, sometimes hours — and follow a single thread. Workflows run for days or weeks, branch across multiple people and channels, and adapt over time. See workflows →
It pauses and escalates to you with a specific question, not a generic "help me." It tells you exactly what it tried and what it needs from you to continue.
Only with your explicit approval, every time. There's no "budget" Atona can draw from on its own.
In your morning brief, in the chat dashboard, and in the mobile app. Every task shows status, what's been done, and what's next.
Yes. Tasks run in parallel and don't block each other.
