**Is there a command line for founders?**

No. Tycoon is designed around natural-language conversation. You talk to Astra in chat to start tasks, check status, review work, and change plans — all faster as a sentence than a typed command.

**Can developers integrate with Tycoon programmatically?**

Yes. Tycoon has a Public Task API that lets your backend create Tasks, track their status, send follow-up messages, and receive signed webhooks when work is done. See [Public Task API overview](developer-api-overview) for the full model, or go to [Quickstart: create your first Task](developer-api-quickstart) to get an API key and send your first request.

**What about things I'd normally use a terminal for?**

Every operation works better as a sentence to Astra. The same controls also live in the workspace UI under Tasks and Settings.

> `"Show me what tasks ran this week"`
> `"Cancel the social post task"`
> `"Run the weekly competitor scan now"`

Developers who want to integrate programmatically can start with the [developer API overview](/help/developer-api-overview).
