In the last week of October I counted the messages I sent my own agents. About 55 of them were coordination: asking where something stood, pushing a next step, moving work from one agent to another, finding out late that something had slipped. In the same week, 18 routines ran 2,067 times. Not one of the misses happened inside a routine. Every one of them happened between them, in the work nobody owned.
That is the job a chief of staff does. Not the tasks themselves, but the space between them: knowing what is open, moving it forward without being asked, and bringing you only the calls that are yours. Skyflo 1.8.0 takes that job.
Home: what needs you, with the rest already moving
Home is the first thing you see. It holds every open obligation Skyflo knows about, from your missions, your inbox and your calendar, and sorts each one by who moves next. Needs you is what waits on you. Review is finished work to check. Running is what Skyflo and its agents are doing now.
One ranking orders Needs you, and every item says in one line why it sits where it does: what it blocks, how long it has waited, its deadline. Decide works through them one at a time with the request, its effects and the evidence beside the choice. Defer an item until a time or until it needs you again, and its work keeps going. Settle it when you are done with it.
Areas: what Skyflo owns
An area is a part of the company you hand to Skyflo: hiring, finance, customers, a product launch. Each area is a folder on your Mac with a playbook in it. Agents read the playbook before they work in that area and keep it current as they learn, the way a good chief of staff keeps notes. The limits you set for the area sit in a locked block at the top that no agent can edit.
Each area starts by preparing work for you to approve. Once enough of what it prepares has been approved, Skyflo offers to let it act on its own. You can change that at any time.
Briefs and your inbox
Every morning and evening Skyflo writes you a brief on Home, and on your iPhone if you have paired one. It leads with what it already did, then the few decisions that are yours. Something urgent does not wait for the next brief.
Connect your Google account and your mail and calendar join the picture. Each message or invitation that matters arrives with a next step: a reply drafted only when one is needed, an RSVP, a mission to start, or a link that opens the thread in Gmail. Within an area's limits Skyflo starts that mission itself and tells you afterwards. That is the whole idea: act, then report.
Work in the apps you already use
A chief of staff is only as useful as the work it can get done. 1.8.0 gives agents four things they lacked.
Any Mac app. Computer use now runs through its own app, Skyflo Computer Use, with its own permission entry, so setup is one prompt. The agent picks the window it needs. In Full Access it simply works; in other modes it asks once per app. It reads forms and tables, sees the window when it needs to, and fills in what it was given. When an action would commit something you cannot take back, such as submitting, sending or paying, it stops and asks, unless you gave the mission Full Access. The agent makes that judgement itself. There is no list of button words to get wrong.
Sign-ins. Missions can sign in to the sites they need in their own browser tab: with sign-ins you saved, live from 1Password or Bitwarden, or imported from Apple Passwords and your browser. When a site sends a code, Skyflo reads it privately from Mail or Messages on your Mac and carries on. When it needs you, the request appears on Home. Passwords stay in your Keychain and never enter a prompt.
Files. Attach a spreadsheet, a CSV or a PDF and the agent reads what is in it, including scanned pages.
Skills. Show Skyflo a task once and it keeps it. Fill out a form in Skyflo's browser while it watches, save a mission that went well, or attach a document that describes the steps, and the result is a Skill: the fields, the choices and what to check. Hand that Skill a spreadsheet and every row runs in its own browser tab, several at once, each one reasoning with its own data rather than replaying clicks. Outside Full Access the batch stops before the final submit, and one approval sends every row that is ready. A results workbook says which rows finished, which need you and how each field was checked. After three clean runs, Skyflo offers to let the Skill finish on its own.
Talk it through
Home has a voice. Press Talk it through and Skyflo opens the first item, explains what an approval would do, recommends one way or the other, and takes your answer in whatever words you use. Describe new work and it becomes a mission. Clearing a morning takes a few minutes of conversation.
Every model, on every paid plan
Every paid plan now includes every model Skyflo offers. Higher plans buy more work and more agents at once, never a smarter model. GPT-6.1 Terra joins the lineup in the balanced lane. Meetings can now be added to any monthly paid plan, and every paid organization's first meeting is free: one call, up to 20 minutes.
What stays yours
A chief of staff earns trust at the boundary. You choose how much each mission and each area may do. In Full Access a mission runs without stopping, by design. Outside it, Skyflo prepares the work and stops before the step that commits it. An agent cannot widen its own access, your limits cannot be learned away, and every change Skyflo makes to itself is recorded and can be reverted.
The work moves on its own now. The decisions stay with you.
