Say what you want done.
Atona does it.
Hand off the things you’d give a human assistant — in plain language, from any channel. Atona figures out the steps, executes them, and reports back when it’s done.
Watch it work
A single request. Multiple steps. Atona handles each one and reports back.
Added to your calendar with the address and a link to the menu. Alex, Jordan, and Sam have been texted the details.
What Atona did
Tasks vs. workflows
Both start with a plain-language instruction. The difference is scope.
Task
A single goal that finishes in minutes. One thread, one outcome.
- Finishes in minutes or hours
- Single thread of execution
- Results reported immediately or in your next brief
- No waiting for other people to respond
- “Book dinner for Saturday.”
Workflow
A plan that runs for days or weeks across multiple people and channels.
- Runs for days or weeks
- Spans email, text, voice, and calendar
- Waits for replies, follows up automatically
- Escalates to you when it needs your input
- “Onboard Maya as a new teammate.”

How it works
Tell Atona what you want
In chat, by voice, or in a text. No special format — just say the goal in your own words.
Atona breaks it into steps
It figures out what needs to happen — searching, drafting, calling, booking — and starts executing immediately.
You see the results
When it’s done, Atona gives you a summary: what it did, what it found, and anything that needs your attention. Results land in chat, your morning brief, or both.
What you control
Approval before sending
Ask Atona to show you the draft before it goes out. Review and approve, or edit and resend.
Priority
Mark something as urgent and Atona handles it before anything else in its queue.
Cancel anytime
Stop a task mid-flight. Atona tells you what it’s already done so nothing is lost.
Check on progress
Ask “What are you working on?” anytime to see active tasks and their status.
What Atona will not do
- Spend money without your explicit approval — every transaction needs a yes from you.
- Contact people you haven’t mentioned or who aren’t in your contacts.
- Continue when uncertain. It stops and asks instead of guessing.
- Take irreversible actions (deleting accounts, signing contracts) without your sign-off.
Common questions
How is a task different from a workflow?
Tasks finish quickly — minutes or hours — and follow a single thread. Workflows run for days or weeks, involve multiple people, and adapt over time. See workflows →
What if Atona gets stuck?
It pauses and asks you a specific question — not a generic “help me.” It tells you what it tried and what it needs to continue.
Can it spend money?
Only with your explicit approval, every time. Atona will show you the option and wait for your yes before any purchase.
Where do I see what’s running?
In your chat, your morning brief, and the Tasks tab in the app. Every task shows what’s been done and what’s next.
Can I run multiple tasks at once?
Yes. Tasks run in parallel. Ask “What are you working on?” to see everything in flight.
What kinds of things can’t be a task?
Anything that requires waiting days for someone else to respond is better as a workflow. Tasks are for things Atona can finish on its own, right now.
