1. Capture the actual agreement
Artie reads the connected channel and accessible meeting notes. Each entry keeps the original source, deliverable, owner and agreed date. A vague suggestion becomes a question to clarify, not an invented commitment.
Hold people to what they promised
Let Artie turn explicit commitments from meetings and chat into a follow-through list with owners, dates, source links and checked updates.

Your brief
Track the launch commitments in this channel and the meeting notes. Confirm owners and due dates, then follow up on overdue work without duplicating reminders.
ArtieAPP
I’ll collect explicit commitments, check the latest updates and ask about the specific next step.
See example output ↓How Artie handles it.
Starts: Channel updates arrive and the scheduled commitment check-in runs.
2. Check progress before prompting
At your chosen cadence, Artie checks the source thread and connected task record for completion, a changed date or a blocker. Reminders name the agreed output and ask for the missing update through the channel you authorize.
3. Keep the team’s plan current
Completed items are linked to their result. Changed commitments retain the new agreement and source. Stalled work goes to the escalation owner you chose, with the dependency and decision needed to move it forward.
Follow through without losing the context.
Use this for commitments people explicitly made. The reply-follow-up workflow is a better fit when you are waiting for a response to an email.
Hypothetical finished result
Example output
Launch commitment check-in
Hypothetical: the launch channel agreed to finish a pricing FAQ before the review.
- Commitment
- Deliverable: reviewed pricing FAQ. Owner: the person who accepted the task in the thread. Due: the review date stated in that same thread; source linked.
- Current state
- The latest document is attached, but the owner says legal review is still pending. Artie marks the dependency instead of treating the draft as completed work.
- Next action
- A reminder asks the owner for the legal-review decision. Once the approved FAQ is linked, the list records that result and stops the reminder.

Questions about this workflow
Does Artie turn every message into a task?
No. Give it the sources and the kinds of explicit commitments to track. Unclear ownership or timing is a clarification to resolve.
What if a due date changes?
Artie checks for a new agreement, records its source and uses the updated date. It does not silently change the commitment on someone’s behalf.
How do reminders stop?
The next check looks for completion, cancellation or a changed agreement. Set the cadence, escalation owner and stop conditions in the brief.
