Build an AI 'Chief of Staff' to route work and manage operations autonomously
dSebastien · x · 2026-08-29
The author argues that the ultimate goal for AI agents isn't just a chatbot, but an autonomous "Chief of Staff." This system should translate natural language into work proposals, route tasks to the right agents, handle unaddressed requests, and generate an overnight digest of events, decisions, and spending. For reliability, it implements specific failure handling: retrying transient errors, re-planning recoverable tasks, and parking hard issues with actionable diagnoses.
