Handoff

Answer in brief

Any point where a person has to carry a file, a caption or a figure out of one tool and into the next.

What “Handoff” means

A handoff is the gap between two tools, bridged by a person. Downloading a video from an editor and uploading it to a scheduler is one handoff. Pasting a caption is another. Handoffs are easy to overlook because no product lists them as a feature, yet they are where a stack spends a team's time and where versions get mixed up.

Counting handoffs per post is the measure we recommend when comparing options, ahead of counting features. An agent reduces them by doing consecutive steps itself. Link AI by Linkme, on its maker's description, makes the content and posts it from the same chat, which leaves approval as the step in between. How to choose includes the question to ask.
