## Definition

**Hardware triage** — as demonstrated in the channel's material — is the process of taking a **first pass over factory hardware defects** arriving via **Slack and email**, sorting and assessing them so engineers can focus on larger problems.

On this page, **hardware triage** shows up in a demo of agents working from **Slack and email**: the agent takes a **first pass** on factory hardware defects, sorting and assessing them so human engineers can put their time into bigger work[^fe6874f4-612c-569d-9af0-a02a37bce952]. The example is framed as part of the broader DevDay vision of agents that stay useful over long periods and are reachable through voice, email, and text — in this case, jumping in on the routine defect queue before it reaches a person.
