Organize your AI workers into departments. Assign tasks, track output, and coordinate multi-agent teams like a CEO.
Why This Exists
Running an autonomous business or complex project means juggling multiple tasks across different domains: content, research, code, marketing, operations. Instead of doing everything sequentially, organize your workers into departments and delegate in parallel.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/departments.py create --name "content" --description "SEO blog posts, marketing copy, newsletters" --model "arcee-ai/trinity-large-preview:free"
List departments
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/departments.py list
Assign a task to a department
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/departments.py assign --dept "content" --task "Write a blog post about OpenClaw memory system" --priority high
Check department status
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/departments.py status --dept "content"
View all active tasks across departments

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/departments.py complete --task-id 1 --output "Blog post written and saved to drafts/memory-post.md"

Tips
- Create departments based on your actual workflow, not hypothetical needs
- Assign one default model per department for consistency
