Chief of Staff Desk Install Guide
Chief of Staff Desk, made by James Bottom, runs a team of bots with spending kept under control. It hands each specialist bot its work as a ticket with a budget, holds any outgoing email for approval and checks usage before starting anything expensive.
The aim is to stop a group of bots from burning through credits without anyone noticing. Budgets per ticket make costs visible, and a usage check before a big job means you can say no before the spend happens. Holding outbound email protects your reputation while the team works on its own. A ticket for each job also leaves a clear record of what each bot did and what it cost.
It suits founders and operators running several bots who have been surprised by usage before. Set a sensible budget for each kind of task, approve outgoing emails in a daily batch and review which tickets went over budget at the end of each week.
