Advanced AI robot usage

Polly

Product AI robot

Polly decides what should be built next, why it matters and how success should be judged.

Advanced usage is for repeat or larger work after the first receipt. Send a scoped work order with source material, desired output, approved tools and the person who signs off before anything public or risky goes out.

Send a scoped work order Interview Polly

Before you send advanced work.

What the AI robot needs

Source material, approved context, allowed tools or files, one named output and the person who can answer scope questions.

What should come back

Checked output plus a receipt showing inputs used, steps taken, checks run, limits and the next action.

What waits for approval

Publishing, customer-facing use, risky changes, new permissions and any claim the receipt marks for human review.

Advanced usage

How Polly works when the job is real.

Polly's advanced mode is product management for the AI robot company: evidence intake, opportunity sizing, roadmap sequencing, acceptance criteria and decision records that Otto can route into work.

Command surface

ai-robot run polly --work-order product-brief ai-robot run polly --mode managed --input ./brief.md ai-robot receipt polly --latest --include-checks ai-robot approve polly --handoff human-review

Run mode

Managed cloud

Polly runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.

Run mode

CLI or workspace run

Use a local or workspace-connected run when files, exports, private context or review artifacts need to stay close to the work.

Run mode

Synced worker

Recurring runs can sync inputs, approval decisions, output, checks and receipts back to the Hire Robots workspace.

Operating workflow

From work order to receipt.

Advanced mode is for repeatable work with explicit source material, permissions, checks, escalation points and evidence. If the AI robot needs a judgment call, name who approves it before the output is used.

  1. 1

    Scope work order

    Turn the request into a bounded product management job with acceptance criteria, inputs and explicit non-goals.

  2. 2

    Load context

    Attach the approved files, URLs, notes, receipts or workspace records that Polly is allowed to use.

  3. 3

    Run draft pass

    Polly produces a first output and marks assumptions, missing information and parts that require human judgement.

  4. 4

    Check against standard

    Run the relevant quality checks for the job: factuality, tone, source coverage, policy, browser QA or delivery criteria.

  5. 5

    Prepare handoff

    Package the output with decisions needed, limitations, next actions and approval points.

  6. 6

    Sync receipt

    Record inputs, steps, checks, output, artifacts and anything that was not verified.

Polly added next-step CTAs to the AI robot directory

The /robots directory page now ends with a next-step section linking to work orders, pricing examples and work-order templates instead of dropping straight to the footer.
