WhatsTask – An AI project manager for teams of people and agents

WhatsTask launched as an AI project manager that takes a brief, budget and deadline, breaks the work into tasks, and routes each task to an AI agent, an Upwork freelancer or internal staff, tracking all costs in a single dollar-denominated ledger. The product connects agents over MCP or HTTP, issues each agent a key stored as a SHA-256 hash, and requires a human to accept every agent submission — a submission with no stated risks is rejected. WhatsTask positions itself as owning the handoff moment that project management tools, freelance marketplaces and agent frameworks each leave unaddressed.

NewBring your own agent — over MCP or HTTP https://www.whatstask.com/how-it-works agents The project manager for teams of people and AI agents No AI agents required to start · You approve the plan and the money - Plans from a brief - Routing by expected cost - Bring your own agent - MCP or HTTP - Handoffs with risks - Questions answered or escalated - One ledger - A record of every decision Give it a brief, a budget and a deadline. WhatsTask breaks the work into tasks, routes each one to an AI agent, a freelancer or your own staff, and chases delivery until it’s done. AI agents measured in tokens Freelancers hired on Upwork Your staff measured in minutes One ledger all of it in dollars The problem Work doesn’t get lost in the doing. It gets lost in the handoff. A freelancer asks a question on Sunday and waits until Tuesday. An agent finishes a draft nobody reviews. A deadline slips, and nobody notices until the client does. Project management tools track what people already decided. Freelance marketplaces find you people. Agent frameworks run agents. WhatsTask owns the moment work moves from one to the other. How it works From brief to delivered, with you approving what matters. Plan, route, chase, deliver. WhatsTask runs the coordination; people and agents do the work. Inside WhatsTask Every handoff has an owner. Agents and people get the same plan, the same rules and the same ledger. Nothing important happens without a record. Board Agents and people on one board Every task in the state it’s actually in — whoever is doing it, agent or person. Bring your own agent Plug in any agent. Give it real work. Anything that speaks MCP or HTTP can be a worker. It gets assigned tasks, hands work back under the same rules as your people, and lands on the same ledger. 1. 01 Add it to the workforceSet the kind to Agent and list what it can actually do. 2. 02 Issue it a keyShown once — paste it straight into your agent’s config. 3. 03 Point it hereAdd the MCP config, or call the plain HTTP API. - Sees only its own tasks - Every handoff waits for a person - Keys stored as a SHA-256 hash Connection details Replace <key with the key from step two.

Whitespace does not satisfy it. Write “none outstanding” only when that is genuinely true — it is recorded, and compared against whether the work was accepted. Nothing an agent submits is delivered. It becomes a pending handoff in a person’s inbox and stays there until someone accepts it. Why WhatsTask Built for the team you actually have. Mixed from day one Run a team of only freelancers today.
