Tasks

AI Coworkers track the work you assign to them, just like a human. Each task is a specific action that the AI Coworker has taken, and includes information such as the title and instructions of the task, which AI Coworker performed the task, and when the task was performed.

You interact with Tasks like you would in any other productivity application - you can assign them to any AI Coworker, monitor their status, and participate in the conversation as updates are posted.

AI Coworkers do the same, working just like a human would. As they perform steps in the task, they will update the task with their progress, and you can ask them questions about the task at any time.

When an AI Coworker needs more information or encounters a problem, the Task will be updated to say so, and the AI Coworker will ask for assistance. You can respond to the AI Coworker in the Task comments, and they will use your response to try and complete the task.

You can also ask the AI Coworker to follow up on a completed Task. After the work is done, you may ask the AI Coworker to do additional work, answer a question about the work that was performed, and more.

AI Coworker Task

Viewing & Managing Tasks

Tasks are collected in a single view you can access by clicking "Tasks" in the navigation in Groupthink.

Tasks are organized by their status, with Tasks that require human input in the first tab, and less important tasks in subsequent tabs.

Creating Tasks

You may manually create and assign a Task to an AI Coworker at any time.

  1. Navigate to Tasks using the Groupthink navigation
  2. Click "New Task" at the top of your screen
  3. Give the Task a title and instructions. Remember, more details and specific instructions will help the AI Coworker perform the task better! (just like a human)
  4. Select an AI Coworker to assign the task to. Keep in mind that not all of your AI Coworkers will have the same skills, and you may need to assign the task to the correct AI Coworker
  5. Set the status of the task: If you select "Draft", the task will not be picked up by your AI Coworker. If you select "Ready", the task will be picked up by the AI Coworker and work will be started immediately.

You'll be directed to the Task management screen, and you'll be able to see progress updates as your AI Coworker works on the Task.

Tasks & Recurring Responsibilities

Every time an AI Coworker executes one of its Responsibilities, it will track the work it is doing in a Task. This gives you a detailed view of the work that is being done, and allows you to ask questions about the work that was performed.

You don't need to do anything to create a Task from a Responsibility - your AI Coworker will do it for you!

Tasks & Chatting with AI Coworkers

Your AI Coworker will track all of the work it performs, even when you're chatting with it inside Groupthink.

You can ask the AI Coworker to perform work, and it will create a Task for you before performing that work.

Your AI Coworker can also answer questions about data inside Groupthink, or in the external systems you've given the AI Coworker access to.
