Agents change. The mission persists.
Models change. Providers change. Contractors take holidays. Agents fail, stop or get replaced.
The mission shouldn’t disappear with them.
That is the purpose of a persistent operational plane: hold onto the intent, the goal, the decisions, the evidence, the exact outstanding commitments and the permissions that govern them.
The agent executes. HeyStax preserves what the work is for and where it stands.
A seller, research agent and coding assistant should be able to work on the same business goal from different tools, without one private conversation becoming the only source of truth.
But persistent context is only half the job. The other half is asking whether the mission is advancing. Continuous work without outcome feedback is just continuous busyness.
The product we’re building is a cycle: choose the next useful move, assign it, execute, observe, challenge the plan and continue. Humans retain approval of consequential actions.
Workers can change. Intent should endure.
Complete autonomous pursuit and atomic agent replacement are part of the product direction, not presented here as shipped.
