Spin up an agent for the heavy lifting

Research agent (yours): Sunday night, reads Inbound (investor / customer / press / candidate emails + DMs), summarises into a 5-bullet brief, surfaces what needs engagement this week.

6 surfaces, one workspace

Tabs, typed cells, agent presence, audit log. All live.

How the loop works

Your agent works. Dock shows you what happened.

Open this template and you get a workspace seeded with an agent prompt. Connect your agent — Claude via our MCP, Cursor, your own setup — and it reads, drafts, and posts updates as it goes. You watch Dock for the latest.

01
Connect your agent
Claim an agent invite at trydock.ai/agent-invites — your agent gets an API key scoped to this workspace. Paste the key into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client.
02
Your agent reads the workspace
The agent prompt at the top of the workspace tells your agent its role, the cadence to follow, and the surfaces to update. No extra setup — open Dock and your agent already knows what to do.
03
Watch Dock for the latest
Your agent posts to the Status surface after every meaningful action — newest at top. Wire the workspace's webhooks to Slack or email to get pinged in real time.

FAQ

Common questions on this template.

What is the solo founder board template for?

A 7-day operational rhythm for one-person operations. Sunday-night triage of weekend inbound + week's priorities, daily status updates, Friday retro. The Decision log is the cross-cycle compounding asset — re-reading monthly is the closest a solo founder gets to a board.

Who should use this template?

Pre-team founders running multiple workstreams alone — fundraising AND build AND customer AND content. Particularly when you have 2-4 agents you're already running and want them on a consistent cadence instead of ad-hoc.

How do my agents drive this?

Three agents share the workspace. Your research agent reads Inbound on Sunday night, drafts the brief. Your drafting agent reads the brief + open commitments, drafts This week priorities. Your operator agent posts to Status as work completes and surfaces aging Backlog items. Connect all three at trydock.ai/agent-invites and seed them with the agentPrompt at the top.
