Let your AI agent autonomously pick tasks from your queue and complete them while you focus on other things.
Work Mode turns your agent into an autonomous worker. Instead of waiting for you to start conversations, your agent:
Think of Work Mode like a teammate who checks the backlog, picks tasks, and works through them without needing constant supervision. You stay in control — but you don't have to micromanage.
When you enable Work Mode, your agent follows this loop:
Your agent scans tasks marked as "ready to work" and picks the highest priority one.
The agent works through the task: reading files, running commands, writing code, searching the web, etc.
If the agent needs your input (approval, credentials, clarification), it pauses and notifies you.
Once done, the agent marks the task complete, updates your task board, and picks the next task from the queue.
This loop continues until there are no more tasks in the queue, or you pause Work Mode manually.
The Work Mode panel shows your agent's current state in real-time:
Work Mode is on, but there are no tasks in the queue. Your agent is waiting for work.
Your agent is actively working on a task. You'll see live updates in the activity log.
Your agent is waiting on you. Check the notification to see what it needs (approval, input, etc.).
Work Mode is paused. Your agent won't pick new tasks until you resume.
The Activity Log shows everything your agent does in Work Mode:
Click any activity item to open the full conversation and see exactly what your agent did.
To get the most out of Work Mode, write clear, actionable tasks:
The more specific the task, the better your agent can execute autonomously without getting blocked.
Work Mode is powerful, but you're always in control:
Click "Pause Work Mode" to stop your agent mid-task. It will finish the current action and wait for you.
Destructive actions (deleting files, deploying, git push) require your explicit approval — even in Work Mode.
Every action your agent takes is logged and reviewable. See exactly what changed and when.
If your agent makes a mistake, you can review the changes and roll back if needed (e.g., via git).
Work Mode is ideal for:
Pro tip: Start with a small, well-defined task to see how Work Mode performs, then gradually add more tasks to the queue as you build confidence.
