Delegate to-do items to AI agents

Overview
I've built myself an agentic to-do list, basically a normal task list that I share with my team of AI agents and people.
Workflow
The author implemented a shared task list accessible to both humans and AI agents. Users can create tasks for themselves or assign them to specific bots, which autonomously execute the work and update status to 'in progress' or 'done'. The system also integrates with Granola to automatically convert meeting notes into actionable tasks, where agents self-assign if capable, otherwise routing to the human.
Reported result
No measured outcomes, efficiency gains, or error rates are reported in the source. The post describes the workflow mechanics but does not provide data on task completion speed or quality. A measurable acceptance check would be to track the percentage of agent-assigned tasks completed without human intervention over a two-week period.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
The source does not specify technical prerequisites, API costs, or integration complexity for connecting Granola with the task system. Human review is implied via a 'review inbox' but the criteria for approval are undefined. Reliability is secondary, as this is a single user's anecdotal setup without broader validation.
Try it
Act as my operations manager. I want to set up a shared to-do list where AI agents can pick up tasks. [Replaceable: Provide link to your task management tool, e.g., Notion or Linear]. First, create a sample task: 'Summarize the attached meeting notes from [Replaceable: URL or file path]'. Assign this task to an agent. The agent must extract action items, create sub-tasks, and mark the main task as 'done' only after human review. Do not send any external emails or make bookings without my explicit approval. Show me the final task state and the extracted actions for confirmation before proceeding to real work.
