Describe the result, then delegate the steps
A task often spans research, comparison, a file, and a follow-up. Instead of managing every micro-step, tell Orlino what a finished result should look like. Include the audience, deadline, source material, and any constraints. Orlino can plan an approach, find information, process files, compare options, and assemble the result into a clear handoff.
For example, ask for a meeting brief from a long set of notes, a shortlist based on your budget, or a project update with owners and open decisions. When the task needs supported connected apps, Orlino can use them within the permissions you grant. Longer work can continue in the background while you focus elsewhere.
Give the task enough context
You can ask Orlino to surface missing information early, keep a short progress summary, and notify you only when it needs a choice or has a result. That keeps the workflow moving without hiding the important moments from you.
- Outcome: what should be ready when the task is finished?
- Context: who is it for, and what source material should Orlino use?
- Constraints: budget, format, deadline, tone, and must-not-do items.
- Approval points: which message, booking, or purchase needs your decision?
What a clear task brief looks like
Fictional task: prepare a weekly update from supplied notes.
Your request
“Create a one-page update for our project team from these notes. Include progress, next steps, owners, risks, and decisions. Keep source dates unchanged and ask about missing deadlines. Prepare the draft for my review.”
| Stage | What moves forward | Where you are needed |
|---|---|---|
| Organize | Group the supplied facts into report sections. | Answer questions about missing context. |
| Draft | Prepare the update in the requested format. | Review unresolved dates or decisions. |
| Finish | Refine the wording after your feedback. | Decide when and how to share it. |
A clear first instruction can cover the whole goal while still leaving room for useful questions.
A one-instruction delegation template
Please deliver [specific outcome] for [audience] by [deadline]. Use [files, context, or supported connected apps] and follow these constraints: [requirements]. Plan and complete the necessary steps, keep source details traceable, and flag anything you cannot verify. Continue longer steps in the background and notify me when you finish or need a decision. Ask before sending a message, confirming a booking, or purchasing.
