Agents & automation

How engagements run

How AltStudio scopes a body of work, proposes a plan, and carries it out with agents — with you reviewing and approving along the way.

An engagement is a project-sized body of work — a client deliverable, an internal initiative, a research effort. Rather than doing every step by hand, you scope the work with Alto, approve a plan, and let agents carry it out, staying in control at the decision points.

How proactively AltStudio works an engagement — plan it all now, or keep watch and surface opportunities — is set by its Autopilot posture.

The shape of an engagement

Scope it with Alto

Start by describing the work in a conversation — the objectives, the deliverables you need, and any constraints. Alto helps turn a rough ask into a clear scope.

Review the proposed plan

AltStudio breaks the scope into a plan — the distinct pieces of work that need to happen. You review it before anything runs, so the approach is settled up front.

Agents carry out the work

Once you approve the plan, agents pick up the pieces and do the work — producing documents, decks, and other deliverables. This can unfold over time rather than all at once.

Track and approve on the Dashboard

Progress surfaces on the Dashboard. Work in flight shows under In motion; finished deliverables land in Recently done; and anything that needs your input — including approvals — waits under For you.

Staying in control

You're not handing the work off and hoping. Agents pause for your sign-off at the points that matter — approving the plan, and approving key results before work continues — so an engagement moves forward at your pace.

The exact steps you'll see depend on how the work is set up. The constant is the shape: scope → plan → approve → agents execute → you review.
