AI agents are powerful. But when they operate like a black box, delegation can feel like a gamble.

You assign a task, the agent disappears for a few minutes, and you are left wondering:

- Is it doing the right thing?
- Is it stuck?
- Is it about to spend time on the wrong approach?

Not anymore.

Gobii's new First-Class Agent Planning gives every agent a visible plan before it acts. Instead of guessing what your agent is doing, you can now see the steps it intends to take, watch progress as it works, and steer the task along the way.

## How It Works

### Agent plans first

Before executing, your agent maps out the task step by step: research, analysis, creation, delivery, or whatever the work requires.

### You can see the plan

The plan appears clearly before and during the run, so you know what the agent is about to do.

### You stay in control

Watch each step complete in real time. Pause between phases. Redirect mid-flight. Keep the work on track without guessing.

## A Few Examples

### Research deep-dives

Your agent can map out a workflow like: search sources -> extract data -> cross-reference -> compile report.

### Multi-step automation

For workflows like: fetch -> clean -> analyze -> chart -> email, you can watch each phase complete as it happens.

### Complex projects

Agents can break bigger projects into phases, giving you places to review, course-correct, and keep strategic control.

This is the difference between delegating to a black box and collaborating with a teammate who shows their work.
