Autonomous delivery: from one instruction to finished work

Sidekick can take a single instruction and carry it through to finished work — not just answer. Larger asks can branch into several linked pieces of work, with bounded parallel Agents on the independent ones. Autonomous delivery is opt-in per workspace, asks before it starts, streams evidence as it goes, and fails loudly rather than silently.

From a request to a result#

Most assistants stop at advice. Sidekick can do the work: given an instruction, it can plan the steps, execute them, and hand back the finished artefacts — a drafted document, a piece of research, a set of changes — with a full evidence trail of what it did.

You stay in control#

Autonomous delivery is opt-in per workspace and gated:

  • Sidekick confirms before it commits to executing anything — you see what it intends to do first.
  • Every run is bounded by your budget and policy. If a step would exceed a limit or trip a rule, it stops rather than pushing through.
  • Risky actions route to an approval before they run, not after.

Bigger than one task#

For larger work, Sidekick can chain a sequence of dependent steps as a plan, checking each step before moving to the next, and streaming progress and evidence throughout. You can follow it live, and you get a complete record at the end.

Not all larger work is one straight chain. A big enough ask can branch into several linked pieces of work, some sequential and some independent. Where pieces are genuinely independent, Sidekick can run a bounded, fixed-size set of Agents on them in parallel, rather than working through everything one piece at a time. This is not an open-ended swarm: the number of Agents is capped, each one inherits your workspace's rules and connections rather than getting wider authority of its own, and the branching work still converges into one record — one outcome, one evidence trail, not a scattered set of unconnected runs. See Governed Sidekick execution for what the underlying fan-out guarantees.

It fails loudly, not silently#

If a step fails or stalls, the run releases its hold, records what happened, and posts a visible failure — within a bounded time. There are no silent dead-ends, and no double-charging for a stuck job. See Autonomy policies and tool-call approvals and Governed Sidekick execution.

info Sidekick only commits to work it can actually deliver. If autonomous execution isn't available for a request, it says so and still gives you a useful answer on the first reply, rather than making a false promise.
