What a Scribe Is
An operator with its own work surface.
A Scribe has its own computer, inbox, schedule, and memory. It can use a browser, write code, call structured plugins, and keep going after you close the tab.

About Obelisk
Not a workflow. A Scribe.
Obelisk is the home of Scribes: autonomous operators that run the recurring work behind a company. Campaigns, code, exceptions, reports, research, inboxes. You give a Scribe a goal, not a script.
What Obelisk Does
The place you hire and oversee them.
Obelisk handles access, status, standing orders, logs, billing, and lifecycle. You see what each Scribe is doing, what it finished, what it needs, and what it cost.
Principles
Built for real work, not demos.
Persistent, not task-scoped.
Scribes hold context across days and weeks. They show up on their own schedule and carry work forward.
Executes, not advises.
A Scribe does the work itself: pushes campaigns live, triages exceptions, prepares reports, opens pull requests, and follows up.
Every action, visible.
The trail matters. Obelisk shows what happened, why it happened, and where a human needs to decide.
Priced like labor.
Usage is tied to active work time. No seats. No license games. Charges map back to the work your Scribe performed.
FAQ
Who is Obelisk for?
Founders, builders, and small teams with real recurring work and no appetite for wiring together another automation stack.
What should I give a Scribe first?
Start with one bounded queue: daily exception triage, weekly reporting, prospect research, dependency audits, ad checks, or inbox follow-up.
How is this different from a workflow tool?
A workflow follows a script. A Scribe receives a goal, uses judgment, works across systems, and escalates when a human decision matters.
How do I stay in control?
You set standing orders, review outputs, approve sensitive steps, and inspect the trail of what happened, when, and why.
Start Narrow
Give one Scribe one queue.
Pick a recurring job with clear outcomes. Keep human review where it matters. Expand after the receipts are there.
