Automation Overview
On this page
Tako has one public automation surface—Tako Script—and two ways to use it.
| Route | Choose it when | You remain responsible for |
|---|---|---|
| Write Tako Script | You know the steps and want direct, explicit control | Method, code, validation, and interpretation |
| Use the Agent | The task needs planning, code generation, iteration, or tool use | Reviewing plan, method, inputs, calculations, and claims |
| Connect Tako in ChatGPT | You use Tako through ChatGPT Apps (MCP) | Method choice, cost, and interpretation of results |
The Agent does not use a separate scientific engine. It writes and runs Tako Script against the same calculation operations, workspace files, and browser workers available to you.
Recommended progression
- Run one visible calculation so you understand its folder and result.
- Read Write Your First Tako Script and execute the minimal example.
- Organize larger work with Reproducible Workspace.
- Use the Agent when automation benefits from planning and iteration.
- Audit its output with Inspect the deliverables.
