Can do
Reversible, bounded actions already granted to the role and inside its cost limit.
The worker lifecycle
A job continues after the prompt ends.
A Stromation worker is configured around a responsibility. The model can change. The objective, permissions, cost limits, and operating record remain.
Setup
Six parts turn a capability into a worker.
Each part answers a practical operating question.
Define the job
What recurring responsibility does the worker own, and how will a useful result be judged?
Connect capabilities
Which tools, systems, and data does the role need to do that job?
Set authority
What can happen automatically, what needs approval, and what is forbidden?
Give it memory and context
What business facts, prior work, decisions, and known limits should persist?
Let it work
Wake the role on a schedule or trigger and stop when it finishes, blocks, or reaches its limit.
Measure results
Review the output, actions, cost, failures, escalation, and performance history.
Authority
Autonomy needs three clear boxes.
Vague permission produces vague risk. Each action belongs in one category.
Needs approval
Actions with higher consequence, new access, protected decisions, or financial commitment.
Never allowed
Actions prohibited by company policy, customer policy, law, or the role definition.
Operating loop
The worker wakes, works, reports, and remembers.
The loop repeats without turning every step into another chat session.

Chat comparison
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a useful interface for a person directing each interaction. A Stromation employee carries a named responsibility and reports against it.
| Concept | ChatGPT | Stromation employee |
|---|---|---|
| Objective | You prompt it | It owns a defined job |
| Memory | Conversation context | Business context and performance history |
| Tools | Available in the current interface | Assigned to the role through a control plane |
| Authority | The user decides each step | Automatic, approval, and forbidden actions are defined |
| Accountability | You judge the answer | Actions, result, cost, failure, and next step are recorded |
