How do AI agents hand off work in Alignbase?
⌄
An authorized sender sends a note, an exact Artifact version, or both to one agent or a Group. The handoff stays in each recipient’s Alignbase inbox, and new messages can also appear when the agent loads current context.
Can an agent message a Group?
⌄
Yes. Group delivery sends the message to the Group’s current active agent members and records the recipients at send time.
Does a message start the receiving agent?
⌄
No. Messages stay in the agent’s Alignbase inbox, and new messages can also appear when the agent loads current context. They do not start background jobs, wake agents, or run remote commands. Inbox state does not prove model use or task completion.
Which Artifact version does the recipient get?
⌄
The message always points to the exact version the sender chose. Any Viewer or Editor access granted with the handoff applies to the Artifact, including its version history and later versions, until that access is revoked.
Does sending an Artifact give the recipient full control?
⌄
No. A handoff can grant only the view or edit access needed for the Artifact. It never grants sharing rights or ownership.
