Questions & objections
Common questions about how Medley works — and honest answers to the concerns founders raise before they delegate real work to their agents.
Product basics
- What does /mission actually do?
- You give Medley a prompt — like "get my first 10 customers." /mission turns it into a full multi-agent plan: the target, the budget, the deadline, and what to check with you first. Then it runs a coordinated team of agents on the steps.
- Do I need to know how to code?
- No. Medley is built for delegating business work — research, outreach, reporting, hiring, and ops. You describe outcomes; your agents carry out the steps.
- Which agents does Medley work with?
- Medley is a Claude Code plugin. Missions run multi-agent plans inside Claude Code using the models you already have access to — Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more.
- How many agents can I run at once?
- Medley is built for parallel missions across multiple agents and projects. The attention queue scales with your fleet — you see only what needs you.
- How do you prevent agents from conflicting?
- Medley decomposes work with explicit dependencies and scopes context per step — so parallel agents work on separate sub-tasks with clear handoffs.
Privacy & control
- Does Medley act without my permission?
- No. Agents run inside the guardrails you set, and Medley asks before anything sensitive — publishing, sending outbound, spending, or contacting people. You grant more autonomy at your own pace.
- Where does my data live?
- On your Mac. Medley is local-first and bring-your-own-keys — your missions, keys, and agent conversations stay on your device, not on our servers.
Comparisons & objections
- Is Medley a replacement for Claude Code?
- No. Medley is a plugin for Claude Code. You still work in Claude Code — Medley adds mission planning, multi-agent execution, and a URL to see the structure.
- Does Medley replace my terminal?
- No. You stay in Claude Code. Medley is a plugin that adds /mission — planning, multi-agent coordination, and a URL for the structure.
- How is this different from a project dashboard?
- A dashboard shows status. Mission control also routes work to agents, enforces sign-off gates, and keeps mission context alive across sessions — so agents can act, not just report.
- How is this different from CI/CD or Zapier?
- Those tools run deterministic scripts. Multi-agent workflows involve LLM agents making judgment calls, producing variable outputs, and needing human review. Medley orchestrates that kind of work.
- What does it cost?
- Medley is free. It uses the models you already have access to in Claude Code. Install the plugin and type /mission.
Install /mission in three commands.
Add the Medley plugin to Claude Code, type /mission, and get a coordinated team on the work — with a URL to watch the structure.
