Controlled workflows
Turn a repeated job into steps with owners, schedules, approvals, checks, and retries, so it runs the same way every time.
Iteration Layer
Iteration Layer is now Task Machine.
Iteration Layer was a European AI workflow runtime, and we cared a lot about it. But the deeper we got, the clearer it became that our heads and hearts were somewhere else — so we made the hard call to wind it down and give that somewhere else everything we have. The same people are now building Task Machine.
Task Machine is for the work that never really ends — the follow-ups, the reports, the small recurring jobs that quietly eat your week. You hand them to AI agents and stay in control: shared tasks, scheduled runs, approvals that come to your inbox, spending limits, and an honest history of everything that happened. The point isn't to take you out of the loop. It's to give you your time back without giving up the wheel.
What changed
Same team, a new focus
Iteration Layer was our European AI workflow runtime, and winding it down was not an easy decision. You don't shut off something you've poured months into without it stinging a little. But trying to do two things at once meant doing neither of them justice, and the work we couldn't stop thinking about wasn't Iteration Layer — it was Task Machine. So we chose to go all in.
We want to be straight with you about what that means. This isn't a quiet rebrand or a coat of new paint — Task Machine is a different product built by the same team, solving a different problem. If you came here for Iteration Layer, its APIs are no longer available, and we're genuinely sorry for the disruption that causes. What we can offer instead is the thing we believe in enough to bet everything on, and we'd love to show you what it does.
What you get
Run the work, keep control
Task Machine turns recurring work into agent workflows you can actually trust. Here's what that looks like.
Inbox-first control
Approvals, questions, blockers, and finished results gather in one place. Stay in control without watching every run or hunting for what needs you.
Use the agents you run
Connect Codex, Claude Code, Opencode, Pi, OpenClaw, or Hermes Agent with the account you already use. Each run takes assigned tasks and leaves one audit trail.
See what agents did
Every decision, check, retry, tool call, and cost stays attached to the run, so you can see exactly what happened instead of trusting a black box.
No runaway work
Set schedules and spending limits per job so recurring work can't quietly run up cost or drift.
Verified, not just finished
Decide what agents can do alone and where a human signs off, with checks on the work before it ever reaches you.
