Project management for AI agents needs visible tasks, clear ownership and a way to check results. Use the tools appropriate to the agents doing the work and keep changes tied to the actual project.

A good agent task names the desired outcome, source of truth, allowed files and tools, non-goals, acceptance tests, reviewer, and stop condition. A vague request such as ‘improve the project’ invites scope drift and makes success impossible to verify.
Split work into small independently reviewable units and record dependencies explicitly. Two agents should not silently edit the same record, branch, document, or customer decision; collisions need an owner and a deliberate merge point.
Give each agent a bounded context packet: the current task revision, authoritative references, relevant constraints, prior decisions, and expected evidence. Dumping the whole workspace increases noise, cost, data exposure, and the chance that obsolete text wins.
Separate branches, workspaces, sessions, credentials, and write scopes. Start read-only where possible, keep secrets outside prompts, and require the owning service to enforce identity, tenant, tool, and revision boundaries.
Completion means evidence: tests, diffs, citations, artifacts, logs, or a reproducible result tied to the acceptance contract. An agent’s explanation and confidence are useful review aids, not proof that the work is correct.
Parallelize only work that can truly proceed independently. A human or authorized orchestrator owns sequencing, shared constraints, conflicts, failed retries, and final acceptance; more agents are not a substitute for a coherent plan.
A work system can hold the tasks, documents, knowledge, tools, and attached agent identities that make this visible. Prostir Company supplies those current building blocks, but it should not be described as a finished autonomous multi-agent project manager while operator execution remains staged.
Control starts with a narrow job, clear access and a result you can inspect. Flow runs help you follow explicit steps; Company tasks and CRM show saved work. These are useful records of what happened, not a guarantee that every decision was correct.
Use a Company for a shared customer task. Check its saved details and CRM context, then inspect the related Flow run where a Flow is involved instead of relying on the assistant's summary alone.
Compare the request, permitted action and saved record. Make sure the people reviewing the work have the right access to that exact product.
