AI Productivity

Autopilot

Leave agents running without coming back to a dead tab: when an agent crashes or drops its connection mid-task, Autopilot restarts it in the same terminal with its session resumed and tells it to continue — or hands the task to the seat's backup agent. It never types into a question, picker or half-written prompt, and after three spaced tries it stops and pages you.

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Unattended agents fail in the most boring way possible: a connection drops, the CLI exits, and the terminal sits at a shell prompt until you happen to look. Recovering means finding the dead tab, relaunching the agent with the right resume flag for that CLI, and typing your own "carry on, don't redo anything" — exactly the babysitting you wanted to stop doing. Autopilot, under Agent Orchestration → Advanced → AI Diagnosis, does that recovery for you on terminals that are actually working on a prompt. It restarts the agent on the same tab with its own resume command, hands the task to a backup seat when there is nothing to resume, waits whenever a question, picker or draft is on screen, caps its retries so it can never loop, and writes every decision down.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1
1

Switch on Autopilot (failed tasks)

Open the Orchestration Dashboard, go to Advanced → AI Diagnosis and set Autopilot (failed tasks) to On. It is off by default and reads Watching once enabled.

A working task dies or stalls

Autopilot acts only when a running task's process exits with an error, the task goes quiet, or a message to it stalls. Idle tabs and a clean /exit are never touched.

Resume, or switch to backup

It restarts the agent in the same terminal with the CLI's own resume command and asks it to continue; with no session to resume, the chart seat's backup agent takes the task.

Three tries, then it pages you

Retries wait 5 s, 20 s and 60 s, never more than 6 restarts per terminal an hour, then an Activity card asks for you. Recent decisions lists every action.

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# agent's connection drops at minute 4
# terminal sits at a shell prompt for 40 min
# find the dead tab
# look up that CLI's resume flag
# relaunch it by hand
# type: you got cut off, don't redo anything

The 1DevTool Way

Autopilot (failed tasks): On
Process exits mid-task -> resumed on the same tab
One continue instruction sent for you
No session? The seat's backup takes over
Question on screen? Nothing is typed
3 spaced tries, then an Activity card

Key Capabilities

Everything included with Autopilot

Restart a crashed or disconnected agent in the same terminal with its session resumed
Send one continue-where-you-left-off instruction after a resume, or turn it off
Hand the task to a chart seat's backup agent when there is no session to resume
Leave questions, pickers and half-typed drafts alone — nothing is ever typed over them
Space retries at 5 s, 20 s and 60 s and cap them at 6 restarts per terminal an hour
Page you with an Activity card once retries run out instead of looping
Review the last five decisions in Recent decisions, with the full ledger on disk
Pause every resume and switch without turning Autopilot off

Why It Matters

The productivity impact of having ai productivity built into your workspace

Walk Away From Long Runs

A dropped connection at minute four no longer costs the whole session — the agent is back at work on the same tab within seconds.

Never Typed Over

Autopilot reads the screen first and waits whenever a question, picker or draft is showing, so it can never answer for you.

No Restart Loops

Spaced retries and an hourly cap end in an Activity card, so a genuinely broken terminal asks for a human instead of burning quota.

A Record of Every Move

Recent decisions and the on-disk ledger show what was resumed, switched or left waiting while you were away.
