Ambient, proactive, and persistent.
Tag @ambient in Slack or GitHub, or ask through MCP. It sets up the recurring work, using AI where judgment helps and code for the rest.
You have better things to remember.
Ask once.
Describe what to watch, when to act, and what a useful result looks like. Right in the conversation.
Make it routine.
An agent sets up the workflow. Repeatable steps run as code; AI handles the parts that need judgment.
Keep the context.
Conversations, decisions, and past runs stay with the work. You don’t have to explain it all again.
Stay in the loop.
Results come back to the conversation. Check the work, change the instructions, or stop it.
