# Nick Saraev's AI Agent Workflow: Linear + Webhooks + Fable 5

Nick Saraev walks through the AI-agent workflow his business actually runs day to day: a shared human-and-AI workspace in Linear where tasks tagged "AI ready" are picked up by an agent through a webhook. The agent — powered by Fable 5 — consults a knowledge base for context and preferences, does the work autonomously, and waits for human approval before any outward-facing action.

## Key Takeaways

- **Start with a shared human+AI workspace.** The shape matters more than the tool. He uses Linear with statuses that denote pipeline position: inbox → next → doing → waiting → done, so any task's state (and how it was completed) is legible to both people and agents.
- **Hand tasks to agents, not just people.** Write the task, describe what you want in plain language, tag it "AI ready," then drag it to "next" — which fires a request to a server where the agent lives.
- **The agent runs a real loop.** His "Nick OS" run assesses the card, posts a plan, then executes — consulting a knowledge base for how prior tasks were done and his stated preferences before writing anything.
- **Fable 5 gets three inputs.** Workspace context (files, other tasks, the content pipeline), a separate text knowledge base it can draw on, and the task itself.
- **Human-in-the-loop by design.** For anything outward-facing — publishing, posting to a profile, touching the wider internet — the agent pauses for approval. You act as the project manager over a queue rather than babysitting each step.
