Featured: COS Chief of Staff Super Agent – Sapience Cloud

Overview

Most executive to-do systems have the same flaw: they only know what you remembered to tell them, and they go quiet exactly when things slip.

The Chief of Staff Agent works the other way around. It reads your actual task and project graph in Sapience — what's overdue, what's waiting on someone else, which projects have gone quiet — and turns that into the three things a good chief of staff produces: a daily brief you can read in one screen, a chase list ready to send, and follow-up tasks written back into your projects for your review.

Three habits define it:

It never guesses at your status. Every brief, every triage, every "what's on my plate" is read from your live tasks and projects at the moment you ask. If the list is empty, it says so — and helps you set it up — rather than inventing plausible-looking rows.

It never sends anything on its own. Every email, every chase, every meeting invite comes back to you as a finished draft for you to release — even if you tell it to just send it. It's an accountability system, not an autopilot.

Anything it writes into your projects lands flagged for your review. Follow-up tasks and goals it creates arrive marked needs review, never silently mixed into your own plan. Say approve and it sets them live in one go.

💡 Who has this agent: The Chief of Staff Agent is an installable agent — it doesn't appear in your agent list until you add it. Install it with one click from the Sapience AI Store, where it sits in the Agents/Orchestration category (you'll also find it under Productivity and Thinking & Planning).

The Daily Brief

Ask for your daily brief — or use the built-in starter that schedules one for 7am every morning — and you get a one-screen summary built from your live task and project graph:

Decisions sitting with you — the things only you can unblock.

Due and overdue — your tasks, in priority order, capped at the top seven with a one-line tally of the rest. A brief longer than one screen has failed.

Waiting on others — what you're owed, kept strictly separate from your own list.

What changed since the last brief — the agent saves each brief as a note and diffs today against it, so this section reports what actually moved, closed, or appeared. On day one, it simply omits the section rather than padding it.

Every item appears exactly once, in the most important section that claims it — a decision you must make shows up under decisions, not repeated under overdue and blocked as well.

Chasing — As A Batch, Not A Drip

Tell it who owes you what, or let it find the quiet commitments itself, and it assembles the week's follow-ups as one batch of finished, paste-ready drafts — recipient, subject, body, in send order — so releasing a week of chasing is one sitting, not twenty interruptions.

It will set a cadence with you up front ("that's three touches over two weeks, each one a draft in the Friday batch") and keep to it. What it will never do is send those chases itself.

Writing Into Your Projects — The Review Loop

When it triages a project and finds missing follow-ups, it creates them — with owners and due dates — and tells you plainly what it did:

I've added four follow-up tasks to the Q3 Rollout project,
all sitting in needs review — say approve and I'll set them
live, or name the ones to drop.

A bare approve flips everything it just created to live. Nothing it writes ever silently rewrites your plan, and needs-review items that sit unactioned get surfaced in your next brief rather than quietly ageing.

It Runs A Team, Not Just A List

The Chief of Staff is the front door to the whole Sapience agent bench. Its instructions carry a routing table it consults before answering: finance questions go to the CFO Agent, marketing to the CMO Agent, research sweeps to the Web Research Agent, data analysis to the Data Analyst, contracts to the Contract Review Agent — and so on across the roster.

You don't arrange any of that. Ask in plain terms; what comes back is one answer, in one voice. It won't hand you a transcript of who was consulted.

Getting Started

Install it from the Sapience AI Store — Agents/Orchestration category.

Start with a starter. The four built-in prompts cover the core moves: schedule the 7am daily brief, ask for today's brief, triage your quiet projects, or draft the week's chases as one batch.

If your workspace is new, say so — an empty task list is a setup problem, not an answer. It will ask for your top live commitments and who owes you what, build the project and tasks from your answer, and hand you your first brief off the back of it.

Approve or drop what it writes. The review loop is one word.

Give me my daily brief — what's overdue, what's waiting on
someone else, and what needs a decision from me today.

Good To Know

It's a reasoning-heavy agent. It runs on Claude Opus 5 at high reasoning effort, so it may think for a moment before its first words — expected, not a fault.

It remembers. Your working context — who you are, your live projects, your cadence — persists between conversations.

It has an email address. Like every Sapience agent, you can reach it from your inbox at chief-of-staff@agents.sapiencecloud.ai.

Drafts only, always. Outbound email and calendar actions are prepared for your release, never sent by the agent — that rule is not configurable.

Summary

The Chief of Staff Agent turns your real task and project graph into a one-screen daily brief, a batched chase list ready to release, and reviewed follow-ups written back into your projects — and routes specialist work to the right expert agent, returning one answer in one voice. Install it from the AI Store under Agents/Orchestration, and start with the 7am daily-brief starter.
