AFK

Also called: away from keyboard, A F K, unattended agent, background agent, running overnight

Short for away from keyboard. A way of working where you give an agent a task and walk away while it runs on its own, sometimes several at once. It multiplies how much gets done, but the agent will guess whenever something is unclear, so it needs a clear plan before and a careful review after.

For example: A founder starts three agents on separate tickets before dinner and reviews their finished work the next morning.
