APX is a free, open-source desktop app that runs your own team of AI agents on your machine.
Three agents can discuss a launch page and still leave you without a page. The missing piece is usually not another agent. It is an explicit definition of what the handoff must produce.
For a launch page, “design, copy and research” are activities. A stronger outcome is: a page exists at the agreed address, the claims match the product, and the links work. Independent pieces can run in parallel, but someone still has to assemble them and check the result end to end.
A useful handoff includes:
- The project and relevant sources.
- The exact deliverable and constraints.
- One accountable owner for the piece of work.
- The evidence expected: a file path, tested address, test result or a clear limitation.
- The boundary between a draft, a committed change and a deployed result.
Before starting another worker, check whether the same work is already underway. Also check what assignment does in your system: if assigning a task already starts a session, separately delegating the same outcome can create duplicate work. Parallel work is valuable when the outcomes are distinct, not when two workers unknowingly start the same job.
APX's task guide describes a shared board and task conversations. Assignment normally starts a work session, with exceptions such as proposals or scheduled work. Agents are instructed to check for existing work; this is not automatic semantic duplicate detection. Treat the task conversation as a coordination aid, not a substitute for checking the artifact.
