Fieldwork · by Infinitum Labs
Fieldwork reads your email, chats and meeting notes every 15 minutes and keeps one task list up to date: what’s new, what changed, and who’s waiting on you. We set it up on your own server and tune it to how you work.

How it works
It runs quietly on a machine you control, around the clock. You only see the results.
09:12 An email from Dana at Acme: “Can you send the revised contract by Friday?”
09:12 Fieldwork reads it, matches Dana to Acme and checks your rules: a client deadline this week is urgent.
09:13 A task appears in your tracker, due Friday, high priority, with Dana’s email linked as evidence.
09:40 A Slack thread approves the invoice. It’s added to OPS-12 as evidence, not a duplicate task.
Thu 11:30 The contract still isn’t sent, so a Telegram nudge reminds you Dana has waited a day.
Fri 08:30 Your morning briefing: what’s due today and who’s waiting on you.

Fri 08:30 Your morning briefing: what’s due today and who’s waiting on you.
Tasks in Plane, an open-source tracker on your own server, filed by company and project.
A Telegram ping when a person has waited on you too long, so you answer before they chase.
At 08:30: what changed overnight, what’s due today and who needs a reply.
Every change the agent made, the messages behind it, and why.
Your rules
What counts as urgent, what closes a task, who gets a reply within three hours, what to ignore: it all lives in a plain rules file you can read and edit. Every correction you make becomes a new rule.
## urgent- a client deadline this week- investors: reply within 3 hours## ignore- newsletters, receipts, calendar noise## the agent may- create tasks and comment- close tasks only with my approval
What it won’t do
Reply or send anything for you.
It reads. It never speaks on your behalf.
Keep your messages in our database.
They’re stored on a machine you control.
Change a task without evidence.
Every update links to the message behind it.
Act on a guess.
When it’s unsure, it files the task and flags it for your approval.
Who it’s for
Several companies, investors, hires and a team, spread across five apps. Know who’s waiting on you before they have to chase.
Every client on a different channel. Each request lands in that client’s project, with the evidence attached.
Done for you
Four steps from the first call to a system that runs on its own. The last one feeds the first, the same way our logo does.
Step 01
We learn how you work: your channels, companies, people and what counts as urgent. That becomes your rules file.
Step 02
We set it up on your server, or a small machine we help you choose, and connect one source at a time.
Step 03
For the first week it only proposes changes. You approve or correct, and every correction becomes a rule.
Step 04
Once it’s right, it runs on its own. You own the system and your data.
