Understanding what a task is and how it functions within the platform is crucial for maximising its capabilities. This article will introduce you to the concept of tasks and how they can be utilised for enhanced productivity and insight.

What is a Task?

A Task in Maybe* is an actionable request or instruction that you give to your AI Agents. These tasks allow your AI Agents to understand your specific needs and provide relevant outputs or insights based on your input. Typically, tasks encompass a range of automated actions, such as generating content, analysing data, or creating summaries.

Key features of a Task

• Customisable instructions: You can tailor tasks to fit specific requirements, making AI Agents' responses more precise and useful for your context.
• No technical expertise needed: Tasks are designed to be user-friendly, allowing you to interact with AI Agents without needing coding or technical skills.
• Efficient workflows: By automating repetitive or complex tasks, you can streamline workflows and save valuable time.

How to use Tasks

1. Create and Formulate a Task:
   • Click on ‘Tasks’ section in the main navigation
   • Then click on the "New Task" button.
   • Clearly articulate the task or question, such as "Generate a monthly financial report" or "How much social media engagement did we get yesterday?" and press enter.
   • A task will be created with a detailed prompt and objective goal based on its understanding of the task requirements. Review and edit these if necessary.
2. Select Output :
   • Choose your output to either ‘Chat UI’ or ‘App for Slack’.
   • If you select ‘App for Slack’, choose a Slack channel from the list of channels where the Slack app is already added.
3. Schedule if you wish:
   • You can set your task to run daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly at a specific time to ensure automatic execution according to your preferred schedule.
4. Set as personal or shared
   • Personal task - only you the person who created it should be able to see it, edit it and use it.
   • Shared task - all your teammates will be able to see it, edit it and use it regardless of who created it.
5. Save the Task
   • Click ‘Save’ at the bottom
6. Execute the task
   • If its not a scheduled task return to your task list and press enter on the desired task to execute it.
7. AI Agent response:
   • Once a task is executed, your AI Agents will process your query and provide an expert prompt or actionable insights based on your request.
8. Organising Tasks:
   • You can pin tasks, which will add them to the top of your Task list, making them easily accessible.

Benefits of using Tasks

• Enhanced productivity: Automates mundane or technical tasks, allowing you to focus on strategic and creative aspects of your work.
