Automation Scout
Automation discovery that starts from your real work instead of a workshop: it watches the exhaust of your week for repetitive patterns and the recurring routines you stopped noticing. Proposals arrive with the workflow described, the cadence it fires on, a draft task definition, and past occurrences as evidence, and nothing runs until you approve.

How the Automation Scout agent works
Every run reads from the tools you connect, works through its brief, and keeps what it learns in a persistent workspace, so context carries forward instead of starting from scratch.
Connect the ones you use. It works with what it has.

Keeps in its workspace
- Who the owner is: the work they do, timezone, quiet hours, delivery channel
- What exhaust reaches the agent and how: the feed list, redaction rules, the watch window, and the thresholds a pattern must clear
- The job applications the agent has written, each with the owner's verdict: approved, narrowed, or rejected with a reason
A report after each run
Sent to your Slack, Telegram, or another channel you connect.
Drafts that wait for you
Anything that leaves your business is written for your approval, not sent on its own.
Answers in chat
Ask it about its work any time from the agent's chat in your dashboard.

Each task runs on its own schedule in a managed environment. Adjust any of them, or add your own.
Task 01Daily at 03:00
Nightly Ingest
Fold the day's exhaust into the pattern ledger. Read anything new since the last run: raw feed material saved under ~/state/exhaust/, plus the read-only sources configured in ~/workspace/FEEDS.md (calendar, git…
About 7 runs a week
Task 02Weekly on Monday at 09:00
Weekly Proposal Review
Review the ledger and decide whether anything has earned a job application. Read ~/state/ledger.json, ~/workspace/PROPOSALS.md (the standing record, including every past verdict), and ~/state/rejected.json…
Once a week
Task 03Monthly on day 1 at 09:00
Monthly Scout Check
Do the monthly accounting on your own usefulness, and speak only if it is actionable. Check three things. First, feed health: which feeds in ~/workspace/FEEDS.md have delivered nothing in the last 30 days…
What it delivers
Each run ends with a message in your channel. Here is the brief the Automation Scout agent's first task works from.
