Work

Tasks, projects, computers, automations, and files: the work Atoi does for you, and where it runs.

Guides

TasksTrack long-running work by state, then inspect its result, changes, checks, and proof.ProjectsGive related threads one source of truth, shared instructions, documents, and tasks.ComputersPreviewWhere Atoi runs work: Cloud, your own Mac, or another machine you connect.AutomationsSave a prompt, choose a schedule, and inspect everything it did.Files and attachmentsAttach a supported file to a Thread, state its purpose, watch the upload and Task, then inspect the Receipt before sharing.

These are the objects you work with every day. A thread holds what you and Atoi say, a project holds shared context, a task holds long-running work, and an ask is where Atoi waits for you.

#Pick the smallest thing that fits

  • Say it in your thread when the work stands on its own.
  • Attach a Project when a request keeps returning to one source, files, or decisions.
  • Follow a Task when work has to keep going while you are away.
  • Answer an Ask when Atoi needs a decision or your permission.

Start with Threads, which every other object hangs from.
