delegation

One big question in one chat makes the model decide, research, write, and grade itself in a single pass. Map the work instead: parallel research jobs, a checker that did not write the answer, a merge, and your approval before anything expensive.

An agent sent a discount code to 150,000 people because a to-do item looked like an instruction. A rule in the prompt is a suggestion; a rule built into the tools is a restriction. Scope every key to the least the task needs.

A new agent should not run your inbox on day one. Give it one job with read-and-draft access only, check its work until your corrections stop, then add the next tool, and let it run unattended only after it has earned that.

In ChatGPT, any chat can search every other chat, send work into them, and collect the results. How to find a lost conversation by asking, delegate work between chats, publish a result to a shareable page, and reach it all from your phone.

Grok Bot, the new beta app from SpaceXAI and Cursor, gives you a team of AI agents that keep working with your laptop shut, each on its own cloud computer. How work gets routed between them, how recorded skills and triggered routines run themselves, and which work should stay at your desk.

Allie K. Miller runs 34 AI agents, and her day is reviewing what they propose, deciding, and handling escalations. What an agent needs before it can start work you never assigned (written goals, fresh context, tools, triggers), the four-stage ramp from one agent to a workforce, and the watchdog jobs worth assigning first.

Boris Cherny, who created Claude Code, maps four steps between chatting with an AI and a system that starts work you never assigned. Find your step from the bottleneck you feel, and make the one change that moves you up.
