    Should make it proactive, rn you still need to send messages for it to assign tasks to you but a real boss is more unpredictable.

      Good idea -- I'll make it send angry messages at 2am

    AI can't do everything yet.

    As a software startup, we want to hand as many tasks off to agents as possible to reduce load on our engineers.

    But browser-use agents, OpenClaw and other agentic apps can't complete all the tasks an engineer needs to do.

    We wanted to create a tool to handle any agent-able tasks such as coding, writing, maintenance and give us only tasks which cannot be completed by AI.

    The agent sends important decisions, security-critical tasks or user testing which it can't do reliably to us. It handles the coding and the majority of communications with clients and customers, who expect prompt 24/7 responses.

    Our solution is Pause: we want agents to give us HUMANS tasks instead of the other way around.

    It's sort of an experiment. We hope you enjoy it and let us know what you think.

    So we are the copilot?

    Lol So Copilot essentially? Not a particular fan of the AI tools generating action items for everyone.

      Is it because its off putting for AI to command humans instead of the other way around? I took a look at Copilot Tasks and it seems very adamant on having AI do the tasks for you. Personally, I don’t think AI is good enough to generate pitch decks and browser-use things as Microsoft advertises — i lean more towards AI helping you manage your todos but not do them.

      heres a brief demo of the prog: https://screen.studio/share/17awcTb9

      Thats why I say thank you and please to ChatGPT — once they become our overlords we’ll be safe
