Eliminate human gating in routine decisions

Delegate decisions without losing control

DelegateZero is a decision proxy API that acts on your behalf under strict rules. When confidence is high, it executes. When it's not, it escalates.

Send DelegateZero the moments where a human decision is normally required. It retrieves the relevant context, applies your policies, and produces an auditable outcome — execute, draft, or escalate. No autonomy without bounds. No silent failures.

How it works

Delegate judgment. Not just tasks.

DelegateZero is designed to act on your behalf — so you can confidently step out of the loop for decisions you no longer need to personally make. It doesn't automate workflows. It represents your judgment.

Capture how you decide

DelegateZero becomes the central knowledgebase for your decision-making:

  • Your preferences, rules, and boundaries
  • Past approvals, rejections, and explanations
  • Examples of how you handle edge cases
  • Corrections when something isn't quite right

Over time, this forms a durable model of how you think, not just what buttons to click. This is what makes real delegation possible.

Requests come to DelegateZero — not you

When a decision is required, your systems call DelegateZero instead of interrupting you. A request might be:

  • A Slack message
  • An email
  • A support ticket
  • An internal approval
  • A webhook from any system

DelegateZero decides what context it needs, then retrieves it from its knowledgebase and live systems. You don't predefine flows. You delegate authority.

DelegateZero reasons as your proxy

DelegateZero evaluates the situation the way you would:

  • Applies your policies and constraints
  • Weighs precedent and similar past decisions
  • Accounts for risk, ambiguity, and missing information
  • Scores confidence before taking action

If confidence is high, it proceeds. If it's not, it escalates — with clear rationale. Autonomy is conditional, explicit, and earned.

It acts — or escalates — with accountability

Depending on your rules and confidence thresholds, DelegateZero will:

  • Respond or approve on your behalf
  • Respond clearly as an assistant when appropriate
  • Draft a response for review
  • Escalate only what truly requires you

Every decision includes: the reasoning behind it, the context that mattered, and a full audit trail. You always know why something happened — even when you weren't involved.

How this benefits you
and your team

You don't just move faster — you step away. DelegateZero lets you stop being the bottleneck, stop context-switching, stop re-answering the same questions, and trust decisions to happen without supervision. Not because AI is “autonomous” — but because it's representing you, within boundaries you control.

DelegateZero is how people finally let AI make decisions — safely, transparently, and on their behalf.

Use cases

Put your judgment to work — without being present

DelegateZero represents you in situations where your input is usually required. Each request is evaluated using your stored preferences, past decisions, and constraints — then handled on your behalf or escalated when needed.

Every use case follows the same pattern: retrieve your judgment → reason under constraints → act on your behalf or escalate.

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. Retrieves your expense rules and similar past approvals
  2. Confirms the amount and category fall within your boundaries
  3. Responds on your behalf when confidence is high — or escalates if context is missing

Outcome: Approved automatically, with conditions — no interruption.

"Vendor wants Net-15 and 30% upfront. Legal already pushed back — can we do it anyway?"

  2. Weighs SLA impact, customer tier, and timeline
  3. Issues a partial refund or escalates with a recommendation

Outcome: Resolved without manager involvement — or escalated with context.

"Prospect hasn't replied since pricing. Should I follow up again?"

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. Reviews prior communications and your follow-up rules
  2. Applies your tone preferences and do-not-pester limits
  3. Sends a follow-up on your behalf or closes the loop

Outcome: The right message, sent at the right time — without you checking CRM.

"Candidate is strong but only has 3 years of experience. Move forward?"

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. References your hiring criteria and similar past decisions
  2. Weighs portfolio quality against stated requirements

  3. Denies or escalates safely — never over-grants

Outcome: Secure by default, no trust shortcuts.

"Approve this $2,500 invoice? Vendor says it's overdue."

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. Retrieves vendor history and prior approvals

  3. Approves, requests clarification, or escalates

Outcome: Routine approvals handled without review fatigue.

"Can I expense dinner from last night and take Friday off?"

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. Separates distinct intents
  2. Applies the correct policies to each
  3. Responds on your behalf where allowed and routes the rest

Outcome: Partial decisions handled correctly — no back-and-forth.

"Hi — just wanted to check if we're still on track to deliver the revised proposal by Friday. If not, please let me know what timing works on your end."

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. Retrieves your past delivery commitments and similar client communications
  2. Checks how you typically respond when timelines are tight or uncertain
  3. Responds on your behalf with a realistic commitment or escalates if risk is high

Outcome: The client gets a clear answer without you overcommitting.

"Can you confirm whether this request is included in our current scope, or should we treat it as a separate piece of work?"

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. References how you've handled scope clarification in similar situations
  2. Applies your boundaries around included vs out-of-scope work
  3. Responds clearly on your behalf or escalates if the case is ambiguous

Outcome: Scope is clarified without pulling you into the thread.

"Hey — I reviewed the doc and made a few changes. Can you take a quick look and let me know if this is okay to send to the client?"

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. Retrieves what “okay to send” has meant in your prior approvals
  2. Checks for known red flags or missing elements you usually care about
  3. Approves on your behalf or flags specific concerns

Outcome: Routine reviews are handled without interrupting you.

"Looping you in for visibility. We're planning to move forward with the current approach unless you disagree."

"I'm not sure who should take this — can you let me know who owns it?"

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. Reviews how you typically assign or delegate similar tasks
  2. Considers team roles, ownership patterns, and context
  3. Routes the request or escalates if ownership is unclear

Outcome: Work gets routed without you playing traffic cop.

"Before I move forward with this, can you confirm you're okay with the approach?"

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. Evaluates the decision against your past approvals and constraints
  2. Checks for risk, cost, or precedent that would normally cause hesitation
  3. Approves on your behalf or escalates with clear rationale

Outcome: Clear direction is given even when you're unavailable.

"Just wanted to flag this and see if you have any concerns before we proceed."

How DelegateZero acts for you:

  1. Determines whether this requires explicit approval or passive consent
  2. References similar cases where you allowed things to proceed
  3. Responds, stays silent, or escalates based on your norms

Outcome: Progress continues without unnecessary back-and-forth.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is DelegateZero?

DelegateZero is a decision proxy. It represents your judgment in situations where a human would normally need to weigh in — using your stored preferences, prior decisions, and constraints to act on your behalf or escalate when needed.

How is this different from workflow automation or rules engines?

Workflow tools execute predefined steps. DelegateZero evaluates each situation dynamically, retrieves relevant context, reasons under constraints, and decides whether to act, draft, or escalate. It’s designed for ambiguity, not fixed flows.

Is DelegateZero autonomous?

DelegateZero never acts outside of explicit boundaries. Every action is gated by confidence thresholds, policies, and escalation rules you control. Autonomy is conditional and earned.

What happens when DelegateZero isn’t confident?

It escalates. You receive the decision, the reasoning behind it, and the minimum set of questions needed to proceed. Uncertainty is never hidden. You can also decide to have DelegateZero respond as your assistant if not fully confident.

Can DelegateZero respond as me?

Yes. You can choose whether responses are sent as you or clearly attributed to an assistant acting on your behalf. Many teams start with assistant attribution and expand over time.

What kind of information does DelegateZero store?

DelegateZero stores decision-relevant knowledge: preferences, examples, explanations, and prior outcomes. You control what’s added, how long it’s retained, and what’s used for reasoning.

Does it pull live data from other systems?

In Core and Enterprise plans, DelegateZero can retrieve live data from connected systems when needed. It does this selectively — only when additional context is required to make a decision.

Can I see why a decision was made?

Always. Every decision includes an audit trail showing the inputs considered, rules applied, confidence level, and outcome.
