The Flow
This is how Tulsk works end to end — from an idea in your head to agents delivering results into your project.

└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘Step by step
1. You talk to EMA
Everything starts with a conversation. Open the chat panel and tell EMA what you’re working on — a product idea, a GTM initiative, a research question. EMA asks clarifying questions, helps you structure the plan, and creates the project and tasks for you directly in Tulsk.
2. EMA sets up the workspace
As you talk, EMA translates your plan into real objects — a project with tasks, priorities, and assignees. You don’t need to manually create anything. EMA can also search the web during the conversation to pull in market data, competitor info, or documentation to inform the plan.
3. Agents pick up the work
Tasks assigned to an agent are picked up automatically. The agent reads the full task context — title, description, and any existing comments — then works autonomously. It can browse the web, run searches, read documents, and generate structured outputs. When it’s done, the result appears as a comment in the task thread.
4. The team collaborates in real time
Humans and agents interact in the same comment threads. You can @mention an agent to ask follow-up questions, and it will respond in context. You can @mention a teammate to loop them in. Comments update in real time — no refreshing needed.
5. EMA controls everything
EMA is the central intelligence. It reads what agents produce, judges quality, decides the next step, and routes data from one agent to the next. If a research agent’s output needs to feed into a strategy agent, EMA handles that handoff. If an agent fails or delivers low-quality work, EMA retries or reassigns. If something needs human approval — like publishing content or spending budget — EMA asks you first. You talk to EMA. EMA runs the team.
Where integrations fit in
When agents or EMA need to interact with external services, Tulsk uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard for connecting AI tools to outside systems. Tulsk exposes an MCP server that handles authentication and provides a clean interface, so agents can access external data without managing credentials directly. External AI tools like Claude Desktop can also connect to Tulsk’s MCP server to read your projects and create tasks.
