How work flows

Every piece of work in AImetier follows the same simple journey: you ask, a teammate does it, another teammate checks it, and then you give the final OK. This page walks that journey so you always know what’s happening behind the scenes — and why “done” means done.

In short

• Work moves through four beats: you ask → a teammate works → a peer reviews → you approve.
• Your teammates keep working in the background — they check in on their own, so you don’t have to babysit them.
• Before anything is marked done, the work is checked against what you actually asked for — not just “the teammate says so”.
• Your only must-dos are the first ask and the final OK. The rest happens on its own.
• Nothing leaves your workspace without you. Ask before sending is ON; nothing goes out without your OK.

The four beats of any piece of work

Think of it like handing a job to a small team in real life. You explain what you need, they go away and do it, a colleague double-checks it, and you sign off. AImetier works the same way.

A piece of work moving from your ask, through the teammate and reviewer, to your final OK.

Here’s what each beat means:

1. You ask. You start a chat or create a task — “draft this week’s newsletter”, “look up three competitors”, “tidy last month’s invoices”. That request is the whole starting point.
2. A teammate works. The teammate picks up the request and gets on with it — drafting, looking things up, preparing the result. You can watch progress, or step away and come back later.
3. A peer reviews. When the teammate thinks they’re finished, another teammate looks the work over — checking it’s accurate, on-brand, and actually complete. Nobody marks their own homework.
4. You give the final OK. The result comes back to you. You read it, and you decide. Anything that would send a message, share data, or spend money waits for your say-so.

Your teammates keep working in the background

You don’t have to sit and wait. Once you’ve asked for something, your teammates check in on their own schedule and keep moving the work forward — picking up where they left off, following up on a reply, getting to the next item on their list.

This is what makes them feel like real colleagues rather than a chat window: you can close the tab and come back to find the draft ready and waiting. When something needs you — a question, an approval, a decision — it shows up under Needs attention so it’s never lost.

You can leave a task with your teammates and check back whenever suits you. If they hit something only you can decide, they’ll pause and flag it rather than guess — so progress in the background never means surprises.

Why “done” is something you can trust

The most reassuring part of the journey is the last mile. In AImetier, “done” isn’t just a teammate’s word — the work is checked against what you asked for before it’s allowed to be called finished.

Here’s the idea in plain terms: when a teammate finishes, they have to show their work, and the system confirms the result actually holds up against the request before the task can move to done. A teammate can’t simply declare victory and move on. We call this evidence-bound done — done has to be backed by proof, not a claim.

A lone assistant

Says “done” and stops. You have no easy way to tell whether it actually finished — or just sounded confident.

Your AImetier team

A peer reviews the work, and the result is checked against what you asked for before it counts as done. “Done” means checked.

So when a task turns green, two things have already happened: another teammate has reviewed it, and the work has been matched against the original request. That’s why a team tends to produce steadier results than a single helper working alone.

Peer review and the “checked before done” step are about giving you confidence — your teammates check each other’s work before calling it finished. The mechanics of how that’s enforced live in Trust and safety; this page is just the lifecycle.

What you do vs. what happens automatically

It’s a short list of “yours” and a long list of “automatic” — that’s the point.

You do this

• Make the first ask (start a chat or create a task).
• Answer if a teammate has a question for you.
• Give the final OK before anything is sent, shared, or spent.

This happens for you

• The teammate picks up the work and does it.
• They keep going in the background and check in on their own.
• A peer reviews the result.
• The work is checked against your request before it’s marked done.

You can let some routine sends go out automatically once you trust a teammate — but that’s an advanced choice you turn on deliberately, per channel. The safe default for everyone is Ask before sending — ON, so nothing goes out until you approve it. If you’re just getting started, leave it on.

A quick word on trust

Whenever a piece of work touches sending a message, sharing your data, or spending money, the same promise holds: No card. No connecting your email. Nothing gets sent without your OK. The final beat of every journey is yours. See Approving and reviewing work for how a daily approval looks.

What if it isn’t working?

If a piece of work seems stuck or never reaches you, check these in order:

1. Did you actually ask? A draft you only talked about in your head isn’t a request — start a chat or create a task so a teammate picks it up.
2. Is it waiting on you? Look under Needs attention — the work may be paused on a question or an approval only you can give.
3. Give it a moment. Teammates check in on their own schedule, so a brand-new request can take a short while to show its first progress.
4. Is it in review? A finished task pauses for a peer to check it before it comes back to you — that’s the system working, not a delay.

Still stuck? Head to Getting help and we’ll sort it out with you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to keep the app open while my teammate works?

No. Your teammates keep working in the background on their own schedule. Close the tab and come back whenever suits you — anything that needs you will be waiting under Needs attention.

Can a teammate mark something done that isn't really finished?

No. Before a task can be marked done, the work is checked against what you asked for, and another teammate reviews it. “Done” has to be backed up — it’s not just the teammate’s word.

Who reviews the work — me, or another teammate?

Another teammate does the peer review for accuracy and quality. You come in at the end for the final OK on anything that sends, shares, or spends. Both steps happen, in that order.

Will my teammate send something before I see it?

No. Ask before sending is ON by default, so nothing goes out without your OK. You can choose to let some routine sends through automatically later, but only if you turn that on yourself.

What happens if my teammate gets stuck or has a question?

They pause and flag it for you rather than guess. It shows up under Needs attention so you can answer and let the work continue.
