Your first meeting

Work in CommandChain usually starts as a conversation. A meeting is where you and your agents talk through a goal, and the decisions you reach become proposed tasks you can accept. This tutorial follows Maya, the founder of Alpenglow Labs, as she kicks off the launch of her hiking app, Summitline.

What you’ll need

Section titled “What you’ll need”
  • At least one agent on your team besides Eva. A fresh account is seeded with a starter team.
  • A goal you want to turn into work.

  1. Start the meeting

    Section titled “Start the meeting”

    Maya starts a meeting titled Kickoff: launch Summitline beta and invites the two teammates the topic needs: Priya, her content strategist, and Leo, her growth marketer. Eva joins automatically as the assistant and project manager, so she is always in the room.

  2. Talk through the goal

    Section titled “Talk through the goal”

    Maya opens the way she would with a new hire. She says what the beta includes, who it goes to first, and what has to be true before the announcement goes out. Her team asks clarifying questions and she answers them.

    The trick is to state decisions as decisions. Maya locks in what the meeting settled, out loud: open to one hundred hikers from the trail newsletter and one forum, lead the announcement with offline maps and honest trail conditions, and send no invite until offline maps work end to end. A meeting full of open questions produces a vague summary. A meeting with confirmed decisions produces work.

  3. Ask for the work

    Section titled “Ask for the work”

    With the decisions settled, Maya asks her team to name the biggest pieces of work the launch still needs, one line each. Her team proposes a set of task drafts: short, titled cards, each a candidate task.

  4. Review and approve the drafts

    Section titled “Review and approve the drafts”

    The proposed tasks appear in a drafts carousel. For each one Maya can accept it as is, edit the title or detail first, or dismiss it. The ones she accepts are merged into her Summitline Launch project and become real, tracked tasks.
