Reviewable agent work
Turn agent output into tracked work.
Tasks make agent work visible, reviewable, and resumable. Use them when an answer needs ownership, a status, acceptance criteria, or a human review loop.
For the exact workspace, filters, statuses, and task-detail behavior, see the Tasks Product Specification.
If task behavior changed after it was created, Agent History helps an administrator check whether the assigned agent's configuration changed.
When To Create A Task
Needs review
A result should be checked before it is sent, published, or used outside the conversation.
Needs an owner
Someone needs to own follow-up work, make a decision, or continue the next step later.
Needs continuity
The agent should resume later with the same context instead of starting from an empty chat.
Needs investigation
A workflow, tool call, or conversation produced a concrete action item or failure to inspect.
Statuses
The task board uses four operating states:
Work is captured but not started.
The owner or agent is actively working.
The output needs a human or teammate check.
The work is complete and no more action is expected.
Tasks can be reviewed in table or kanban style views. Use search and status filters when the list grows.
A Good Task Has
Create a task for the Reporting agent. Goal: compare Q2 feedback themes with last quarter. Output: table of top issues, count, source examples, and recommended next action. Status: In review.
Recover Missing Context
If a task result looks detached from the original request, open the source conversation or task conversation history. If the source is missing, add it directly to the task before asking the agent to continue. Use Continue Past Work when you need to reconstruct a longer handoff.
