Email, Chat and files - Delegmate

Email

Email it at its own address. It replies in the thread and keeps a conversation under one subject. On an email to several people it reads who the email is for: what is asked of someone else stays theirs, and what is asked of it or of everyone is its own.

Google Chat

Message it directly, like anyone on the team. In a space or a group chat it answers when you mention it or plainly speak to it, and otherwise it reads along and stays out of the conversation.

Files, Docs and comments

Share a Doc, Sheet or file with it, with a note saying what you need.
Comment on a Doc and mention it, and it makes the change and answers on the comment.
Assign it a task in a Chat space or a Doc.

What it makes lives in its Drive, shared with whoever asked, who can edit it.

Who can ask it for what

Who	What they can do
The people it works for	Set its priorities, change its setup, and approve what it asks about
Anyone at your company	Ask it for help, by any of these routes
Anyone outside your company	Write to it, and it may answer them. They can never instruct it: what they write is treated as information, not as orders.

More than one teammate

Teammates know what each other does. If something reaches the wrong one, it hands the work to the right one with what it needs and tells you. If you ask two teammates “can one of you…”, you get one answer: the second waits a couple of minutes and reads what the first sent.
