ghosterrands

/ˈɡəʊstˌɛrəndz/nounVerified New

Technology & AI

Errands a software agent runs with your authority, leaving a trail you discover rather than a task you remember doing.

The booking you do not remember making, the email that went out under your name while you slept. Delegation to agents is the point; ghosterrands names what it feels like from inside — your life being performed by something that reports to you afterward.

Etym. — *ghost* (the unseen doer) + *errands*; work done in your absence by something holding your credentials.
