Use case · Chief of Staff
An AI chief of staff that hands out the work and follows it through.
orbo.work’s Chief of Staff is the front desk of your AI team. It takes what you say in chat, in email and in meetings, turns it into tasks with one goal each, and hands each task to the right person or AI agent. It follows up on anything that stalls, proposes a new agent when nobody fits, and tells you when the work is done. It doesn’t do the work itself: the agents do.

What it does
Turns requests into tasks
Every request and action item becomes a task with one goal and a priority.
Hands each task out
To a teammate, or to an agent in the right role: Sales follow-up, Inbox and support, Research, Coding and more.
Follows up on what stalls
It chases work that stopped moving, so nobody has to remember to.
Sets up the team for you
Describe the work and it proposes the agents and projects to do it, for you to approve.
How it works
Tell it once.
Ask in Chat, forward an email, or bring it into a call. Or say nothing: after a call, it suggests the follow-ups.
It plans the work.
It splits a request into tasks with one goal each, using the agents you already have.
The right owner does it.
Each task goes to a person or an agent. If nobody fits, it proposes a new agent for you to approve.
It reports back.
It tells you when the work is done, with the proof: the sent email, the pull request.
An assistant waits to be asked.

Questions
- What is an AI chief of staff?
- An AI that keeps a company’s work moving: it collects what people ask for and promise, turns it into tasks, hands each one to an owner and follows up until it’s done. In orbo.work, the Chief of Staff hands work to people and to AI agents that do it.
- Does the Chief of Staff act on its own?
- It plans and hands out work on its own. Changes that leave the company, like an email to a client, wait for a person’s OK, and you decide who approves what in each project.
- Does it work with people as well as agents?
- Yes. A task can go to a teammate or to an agent, and both show up in the same list of work.
- Who is it for?
- Founder-led companies, where follow-ups from meetings, emails that need answers and promises to clients all land on one or two people.
