Connect TESS and Timely Time Tracking
When New Memory fires in TESS, your agent runs Create Task in Timely Time Tracking, or New Client in Timely Time Tracking to Create Memory in TESS. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
