Agents and delegated work

Last reviewed

Gideon can delegate a bounded job while you keep working in the main conversation. Delegation is useful when the task has a clear input, output, and review boundary.

Choose a focused assignment

Ask for a source review, a draft, or an investigation with a defined result. Avoid assigning the same file or action to several workers without a coordination plan.

Try this

Delegate a review of these three documents. Identify conflicting dates and amounts, cite the exact sources, and return one comparison table. Do not edit the documents or contact anyone.

Follow the result

Check activity and the returned output. A worker being launched is not evidence that its task finished. Read the result in the main context and resolve conflicts before acting on it.

Agent configurations

The Agents surface holds configurations for different roles. Instructions and tool access should fit the assignment. Hosted model selection is managed rather than chosen per customer agent.

Connected Workmates

Connections can expose linked Workmate agents. Their availability and permissions depend on the connection. Keep the scope explicit and check the actual returned work; connecting an agent does not automatically authorize every external action.

Keep one accountable outcome

Ask Gideon to combine contributions into a final result that names completed work, remaining uncertainty, and anything needing your decision.
