Organize your AI workers into departments. Assign tasks, track output, and coordinate multi-agent teams like a CEO.
Why it matters
Parallel delegation across specialized departments is faster and more organized than routing all tasks through a single agent sequentially.
Typical use cases
- Delegating blog writing to a content department while engineering handles bug fixes simultaneously
- Checking all active tasks across every department in a single command
- Assigning a high-priority market research task to a specialized research agent
- Running an end-of-day report to review what each department completed
- Removing a department after a project phase wraps up
Source instructions
Department Manager
Organize your AI workers into departments. Assign tasks, track output, and coordinate multi-agent teams like a CEO.
Why This Exists
Running an autonomous business or complex project means juggling multiple tasks across different domains: content, research, code, marketing, operations. Instead of doing everything sequentially, organize your workers into departments and delegate in parallel.

Tips
- Create departments based on your actual workflow, not hypothetical needs
- Assign one default model per department for consistency
- Review completed tasks before publishing — QA is the CEO's job
- Use priority levels to focus workers on what matters now
