Tasks

What are Tasks in Agent Cloud?

🚧 These docs are still under construction. Reach out on Discord if you’d like more information on anything about Agent Cloud.

A Task is a start-to-finish task that’s executed by an agent. They can be daisy-chained to have the output of one or multiple tasks be the input to tasks.

Task Pre-Requisites

Tasks require the following to be configured before being able to configure a task:

• Agents
• Datasources

Task Form

Name

This is a simple arbitrary name for the task, this isn’t passed to the agent(s).

Task Description

A clear, concise statement of what the task entails. This is given to the agent as a prompt of what to do. This should explain to the agent what they are assigned to do within this task.

E.g: Find and summarise the latest and most relevant news on AI

Expected output

A detailed description of what the task’s completion looks like and what the final result should be.

Expected Output

This is a text representation of the task output.

E.g: “A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news.”

Context

This is the context used for the current task. Tasks are passed through and the output of these tasks is used as the input of this task. This allows you to specialise tasks to a specific objective. This abstraction of task functionality allows for more detailed and accurate overall outputs as each task has a specific goal.

Tools

Tool to be used by the task, if there is a required tool that isn’t attached to the preferred agent then this tool can be passed through here.

Datasources

The datasource(s) to be used in this tool.

Preferred Agent

The preferred agent for execution of this task, if no agent is selected then Agent Cloud will assign an agent to it.

Human Input

After the execution of the task, there may need to be a human input to finalise the completion of the task or to ask the user for more information of some kind. This is used to specify if human input should be used. This input is used for the next task in the app.
