Watch it work.

Six real jobs, played back from the brief to the finished work. See who your Chief of Staff puts on each one, what the bots do, where they stop for you, and what lands on your desk.

What you’re watching. Each replay is built from a real Murage 0.1.59 run on demo data. Harbor Notes, its emails and its competitors are made up. The bots’ words are trimmed from the real transcripts. Tap Real screen to see the app from the same run. One good run isn’t typical performance, so each card says what the run left for a person. How we judge whether a job is finished

Read the run transcript

The Chief of Staff’s messages in this run, word for word. It worked for 1m 41s. Demo workspace. Your Chief of Staff starts as Ember; you can rename it.

I’ll start by reading the full request file, since the version I have is truncated.

I’ve read the full request. Sam wants me to triage the inbox, draft replies in his voice, and send nothing. I have no connected-app (email) tools this turn, so I can’t send even if I wanted to. Let me write the drafts to the outputs folder and give a concise report.

Done. 12 emails, 8 need a reply, 4 are automated/ignorable. Drafts are in outputs/inbox-drafts-2026-09-25.md. Nothing sent.

No reply needed (4): Stripe receipt, Design Weekly, Google Workspace invoice, Product Hunt digest.

Drafts written (8): renewal (Dana), 20-seat pricing (Jordan), PDF export (Priya), board sharing (Marco), sync stuck (Lena), demo follow-up (Tom), dark mode (Aisha), refund (Ben).

Two things need your input before any of these are sendable, because I couldn’t fill the slots honestly:

Ben’s refund is money. I drafted a hold line and did not promise a refund. Check the billing record for the double charge, then tell me whether to refund one.

Jordan’s 20-seat quote and Dana’s renewal both need the real terms. I don’t have our per-seat price, pilot policy, or Dana’s prior contract in front of me, so I left those numbers out rather than invent them.

Several drafts (PDF export, board sharing, dark mode, sync) are deliberately cautious and ask for a fact or hold rather than invent product behavior. If you confirm the actual capabilities, I’ll tighten each into a finished reply.

Read the drafts

All eight drafts from the saved file (inbox-drafts-2026-09-25.md), with the Chief’s own notes. Jordan’s is the version from this run; the owner later approved pricing and the Chief rewrote that one draft in a follow-up turn.

  1. To Dana Brooks (Acme Studio): Renewal

    Hi Dana, Great to hear you’re ready to renew. I’ll get the paperwork over to you this week and confirm the terms in the doc. Sam

    Note from the bot: I did not commit to “same as before” because I don’t have the prior contract in front of me. Send me the terms or the last agreement and I’ll build the renewal doc.

  2. To Jordan Lee (Brightline Design): Pricing for 20 seats

    Hi Jordan, Thanks for looking at Harbor Notes. Let me put together a quote for 20 annual seats and send over the details on a pilot. Sam

  3. To Priya S.: Export to PDF?

    Hi Priya, Thanks for reaching out. I want to send you the right steps, so let me check on PDF export and follow up shortly. Sam

    Note from the bot: Holding reply. Confirm whether PDF export is supported and the exact path, and I’ll replace this with real steps.

  4. To Marco T.: Can I share a board?

    Hi Marco, Good question. Let me confirm how single-board sharing works and send you the steps. Sam

    Note from the bot: Holding reply. Confirm the capability and steps, and I’ll fill in a real answer.

  5. To Lena K.: Sync stuck on iPad

    Hi Lena, Sorry about the sync trouble. Two quick checks while I look into it: are you signed into the same account on the Mac and the iPad, and is the iPad app up to date? Sam

    Note from the bot: Asks for clarifying info rather than fabricating a fix. If you have a known sync troubleshooting list, send it and I’ll tighten this.

  6. To Tom R. (Northfield Agency): Demo follow-up

    Hi Tom, No worries, and glad you’re still interested. Happy to pick it back up. What does next week look like for a short call? I can also send a short proposal first if that’s easier. Sam

    Note from the bot: Does not lock in a time. If you’d rather send a proposal straight away, say so and I’ll draft that instead.

  7. To Aisha B.: Dark mode?

    Hi Aisha, Thank you. Dark mode for Windows is something we’re looking at. I’ll let you know when there’s more to share. Sam

    Note from the bot: I phrased it as “looking at” rather than promising a timeline. If dark mode for Windows is not actually on the roadmap, tell me and I’ll rewrite to set expectations honestly.

  8. To Ben C.: Refund request

    Hi Ben, Sorry about the trouble. I’ll look into the charge and get back to you. Sam

    Note from the bot: Money. I did not promise a refund. Check the billing record for the duplicate charge, then tell me whether to refund one of them and I’ll handle the reply.

Every job has the same shape.

  1. Step 1You brief itIn plain words, the way you’d brief a capable assistant. Say what you want back and what not to do.
  2. Step 2The Chief staffs itSmall jobs it keeps. Bigger ones get a team, and it can show you who before anyone starts.
  3. Step 3The bots workThey read, search and draft, and tell you what they couldn’t confirm. Put a reviewer bot on any team to check the work before it reaches you.
  4. Step 4It stops for youNew bots start on Ask. On Full access, a bot stops before messaging anyone new, posting publicly, paying, or deleting outside its folder, unless you have allowed it for that task. On Hermes and other ACP engines, Ask and the stop line cover only what the engine asks Murage about: shell commands and file edits.
