Delegate tasks to an AI chief of staff
A user hands tasks to a Muse side chat that proposes work and handles delegation, and they step in only for physical steps like a scan, tap, or verification. ·
Done withMeta Muse
- What they did
- The user says they stopped treating Muse as one chat and instead run one main chat as a general manager, with separate side chats for each project. Each side chat gets a written scope file defining ownership, forbidden actions, and what counts as done, while state is kept in files like goals, trackers, and schedules; once assigned, the side chat is expected to finish the work and only return for a physical action the user must do, like a scan, tap, or verification.
- How it went
- They describe the setup as the one that finally held together after months of trial and error. The main weakness they call out is silent failure: a posting line once produced nothing for three days without notice, so they now treat any zero-output day as an exception and review only failures.
- Worth knowing
- Their key operating catch is procedural: batch all decisions into one morning session instead of letting the agent ask for ad hoc approvals throughout the day.
Try it yourself with Meta Muse
Be my chief of staff. Each [day or week], look at [my inbox, calendar, task list] and propose a list of tasks you can handle for me, then do the ones I approve. Tell me clearly when a step needs me physically, like scanning a document, tapping a confirmation or verifying a login. Before sending messages, spending money or deleting anything, pause and show me exactly what you are about to do.
