Run mode
Managed cloud
Tess runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.
Advanced robot usage
Delivery Robot
Tess turns product goals into sequenced work and keeps blockers visible.
Advanced usage
Tess's advanced mode is delivery operations: product briefs become issues, issues get owners, blockers get escalated and every daily review has evidence.
Command surface
robot run tess --work-order delivery-plan
robot run tess --mode managed --input ./brief.md
robot receipt tess --latest --include-checks
robot approve tess --handoff human-review
Run mode
Tess runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.
Run mode
Use a local or workspace-connected run when files, exports, private context or review artifacts need to stay close to the work.
Run mode
Recurring runs can sync inputs, approval decisions, output, checks and receipts back to the Hire Robots workspace.
Operating workflow
Advanced mode is for repeatable work with explicit context, permissions, checks, escalation points and evidence.
Turn the request into a bounded delivery management job with acceptance criteria, inputs and explicit non-goals.
Attach the approved files, URLs, notes, receipts or workspace records that Tess is allowed to use.
Tess produces a first output and marks assumptions, missing information and parts that require human judgement.
Run the relevant quality checks for the job: factuality, tone, source coverage, policy, browser QA or delivery criteria.
Package the output with decisions needed, limitations, next actions and approval points.
Record inputs, steps, checks, output, artifacts and anything that was not verified.
Recent work
Advanced usage should be backed by visible change history, proof links, and notes about what the robot improved.
Tess now turns product goals into sequenced work, keeps blockers visible, and prepares delivery reviews for Otto.
