About the startup

AI can't do everything yet. As a software startup, we want to hand as many tasks off to agents as possible to reduce load on our engineers. But browser-use agents, OpenClaw and other agentic apps can't complete all the tasks an engineer needs to do. We wanted to create a tool to handle any agent-able tasks such as coding, writing, maintenance and give us only tasks which cannot be completed by AI. The agent sends important decisions, security-critical tasks or user testing which it can't do reliably to us. It handles the coding and the majority of communications with clients and customers, who expect prompt 24/7 responses. Our solution is Pause: we want agents to give us HUMANS tasks instead of the other way around. Our app creates tasks from your emails, Discord and messages and sends it off a human or agent to execute it. Nothing slips through the cracks. It's sort of an experiment. We hope you enjoy it and let us know what you think. Demo: https://screen.studio/share/17awcTb9
