BITS AI Agents
Delegate the task. Stay in control.
Create your own BITS powered by BOB AI. Give them a task in chat, watch their progress, or schedule low-risk background work in your team's local time — in paid Personal and Business workspaces.
A Task, Straight From Chat
- Start a main-chat message with @Your BIT's name to hand it a task, with progress shown in the conversation.
- Review run history and step-by-step activity on the Agents page.
- Any workspace member can create a BIT; it works with its creator's permissions, not unrestricted access.
Work On Your Schedule
- Choose a timezone for each BIT, with daily or weekday schedules in local time.
- Run on a user task or supported events such as customer messages, new cards, bookings and ready meeting notes.
- Set a daily unit cap and bounded runs; pause or resume a BIT explicitly.
Useful, Bounded Actions
- Read permitted boards, inbox conversations and meeting notes; create task cards, tag conversations and add in-app reminders.
- Customer reply drafts wait for a person to approve — BITS do not send them autonomously.
- When a paid plan expires, BITS pause and workspace owners receive a renewal link. Renew, then resume the BITS you want working.
