Orchestrator

    Orchestrator lets Sero's AI agents work on a task without you directing every step. You describe the result you want, review how Sero plans to do the work, and decide when it can start.

    Open Orchestrator from the app bar, then choose Workflows or Rooms. A third mode, Goals, starts in the chat session itself with /goal, and Orchestrator manages the ones you leave running.

    Choose a Workflow, Room or Goal

    • Use a Workflow when Sero can plan the work before it starts. For example, a Workflow can collect the week's project notes, write a summary, ask you to review it, and save the approved version. You can run a Workflow once, on a schedule, or after an event.

    • Use a Room when several agents need to work together. Sero creates a temporary team, gives each member a role, and lets them share their findings. For example, one member can review the cost of a project, another can review the schedule, and a third can check the risks. The team then combines its findings into one report.

    • Use a Goal when you want the session you are already in to keep working until a result is reached. Sero plans nothing first. You say what must be true at the end, and the session keeps going until it is.

    • Use Architect when you want Sero to build and maintain a product from an idea. Architect proposes a charter and cost cap, builds one milestone at a time through Workflows and Rooms, checks the result, then releases and maintains it. You approve the charter and any decisions that need your input.

    Choose a Workflow for planned steps, a Room for a team, a Goal for ongoing work in the current chat, or Architect for a product that Sero will build and maintain.

    You do not need a Workflow before you start a Room or a Goal. They are independent.

    What stays under your control

    Sero shows you what it proposes before work starts. For a Workflow, you review the steps. For a Room, you review the team and each member's role.

    You also review:

    • which files and tools the agents can use;
    • how long they can work and how much they can spend;
    • where Sero will put the result.

    Your workspace is the project or folder that you opened in Sero. Sero asks for approval before it sends a result outside that workspace.

    Access settings control the tools available to an agent. They are not a sandbox. An agent with shell, or command-line, access can run any command that your account can run. Use Orchestrator only in a project that you permit it to change.

    Orchestrator pauses the work when it needs:

    • an answer to a question;
    • your approval for an action;
    • more time or a higher cost limit;
    • help after something failed.

    You can close Orchestrator while the work continues. Home shows questions and approvals that need your attention. Sero notifies you when the work finishes or cannot continue.
