Start from a defined outcome
Describe what done looks like, provide constraints, and identify the decisions that still require your approval.
A Work Agent inside Floatboat
Delegate a task. Get back finished work.
Give the Floatboat Coworker a clear outcome, the relevant materials, and approval boundaries. It handles the task inside your Agent Workspace and returns a deliverable you can inspect, revise, or accept.
- ✓Outcome-based delegation
- ✓Scoped files and tools
- ✓Reviewable deliverables
One task, one accountable result
Brief the work instead of steering every step
The Coworker turns a bounded assignment into an execution plan, uses approved project resources, and comes back with the requested artifact.

Built for delegation
A Work Agent owns the task between brief and delivery.
Coworker is the task-facing role inside Floatboat—not the workspace itself and not an open-ended chat companion.
Let the agent handle connected steps
The Coworker can use approved files and tools to research, draft, organize, or produce the requested result.
Receive work you can inspect
Get a file or other concrete artifact with enough context to review, revise, and decide what happens next.
A delegated client brief
Hand off the assignment without handing away judgment.
A bounded task gives the Coworker room to execute while keeping the goal, resources, and approval points explicit.
1
Define the deliverable
State the outcome, audience, format, constraints, and deadline for this assignment.
2
Approve the working scope
Choose the files and tools the Work Agent may use and mark actions that need confirmation.
3
Review the handoff
Inspect the completed artifact, request a revision, or accept it and close the task.
For assignments with a clear finish line.
Coworker is most useful when you can describe the desired result but do not want to manually drive every intermediate step.
Founders
Delegate the next concrete outcome
Hand off research, a decision brief, or a follow-up package while keeping final judgment.
Creators
Turn source material into a draft
Provide references, format, and voice guidance, then review a finished artifact instead of prompting section by section.
Operators
Complete repeatable assignments
Use a tested brief and approved resources for recurring reports, preparation, and client deliverables.
Brief, execute, hand off.
Coworker provides a simple Work Agent loop inside the broader Agent Workspace.
- 01
Brief the outcome
Explain what must be delivered and which conditions define acceptable work.
- 02
Let the task run
The agent uses the approved context and tools, pausing when an action crosses an approval boundary.
- 03
Review and close
Receive the artifact, ask for focused changes if needed, and decide whether the assignment is complete.
A Work Agent is accountable for an assignment, not a conversation.
Coworker is designed around delegated outcomes and concrete handoffs rather than an endless sequence of prompts.

Work Agent questions
What is a Work Agent?+
A Work Agent accepts a bounded assignment, uses the approved context and tools needed to complete it, and returns a concrete result. The task can end when the handoff is accepted.
How is Coworker different from the Agent Workspace?+
Coworker is the agent role you delegate a task to. The Agent Workspace is the persistent environment that provides files, tools, rules, history, and review controls for that work.
Can the Coworker act without my approval?+
Routine steps can run within the scope you provide. Sensitive or consequential actions should remain behind explicit approval boundaries that you can review.
What can the Coworker deliver?+
Depending on the task and enabled tools, it can return documents, research, organized files, drafts, code, or other editable artifacts supported by the workspace.
Hand off the task, not your judgment.
