Project Master

When you open a project, you land in a conversation with its Master. Think of the Master as a chief of staff: tell them what you need, and they start the right tasks, keep track of them, and report back. The Master is on by default.

What the Master does

• Starts tasks for you. Describe the goal in plain words. The Master writes a clear brief and creates the task, so you don't have to set up each one.
• Follows up. When a task finishes, fails, or needs your input, the Master hears about it and tells you what changed and what needs your attention.
• Redirects or stops work. Ask the Master to send a task new instructions or cancel it.
• Handles recurring work. Ask for something on a schedule and the Master sets it up and reports on every run.
• Answers messages from your connectors. Messages from Telegram, Discord, GitHub, and Email go to the Master of the project you chose, and replies go back to the same chat. See Connectors.

The Master doesn't run commands or edit files itself. All of the actual work happens in tasks, which you can open and steer at any time.

You can still manage tasks yourself

The Master is a helper, not a gatekeeper. You can always:

• Open New Task to start a task directly with the Task Composer.
• Open any task the Master created and send it a follow-up. See Task Follow-up.
• Use All tasks to open the Project Overview and browse, filter, or clean up every task.

Turning it off

Workspace owners can turn the Master off under Workspace settings → Experiments → Project Master. With it off, opening a project shows the Project Overview instead, and connector messages can't start tasks.
