Choose a co-worker
Use a simple checklist to choose a co-worker you can supervise confidently.
Choose a co-worker
Choose a co-worker for a specific outcome, not just a broad topic. The best first co-worker has a clear mission, inputs you can provide, and a result you can recognize.
Before you hire
Ask these questions on the co-worker detail page:
- What responsibility will this co-worker own?
- What information, connections, or review will it need from me?
- What will it return for me to inspect?
- Does it need special hardware or a GPU?
- Does it need approval before consequential actions?
Start small
Begin with one co-worker and a short Test now run. Review its activity and outputs before adding a schedule. A short test is the best way to learn whether the mission and configuration fit your workflow.
When a co-worker needs a GPU
OtterDesk shows its GPU requirement before you hire it. If the requirement cannot be met, add a suitable computer to your cluster or select a different role. Do not assume a co-worker will run well without its stated hardware.
Read Resources and capacity and Connect another PC for your options.
