Task Creation Flow
On this page
Once you set up your account, you get one digital employee named Lola with default configuration. The default configuration makes Lola a general purpose agent that can handle general tasks. This is sufficient for most agentic AI use cases - even though there’s more that can be achieved by configuring your agent further.
There are two ways to assign tasks to a configured agent on Compose AI.
Task mode
Task mode is a robust method of task handling and ideal for a long running task - something you may not have to sit in front of the screen to wait for. This allows the agent problem solve asynchronously to execute on the task properly. Because the agent can asynchronously work on the task, it is important to have a properly configured agent. Also, tasks can be created using this mode from Email, API, and other asynchronous channel.
On the task mode, tasks move from “to-do”, to “in-progress”, and to “done” when everything goes fine. When there are issues completing the tasks due to any reason e.g. the connected worker system went offline, captcha or pay wall, the task will be blocked so the human reviewer could look into the task to resolve the blocker. Once blocker is resolved, the task will progress as normal to completion.
The flow to create a new task in Task Mode looks like the above. The only compulsory field is the actual task field. The other optional field can be used if required.
Externally created task
It is possible to created tasks using any channel activated for an agent, e.g. Email, API or Widget. For example, if you implement a Widget use case so your customers can interact with your business, each interaction will show as a completed task on the agent’s board.
Vibe mode
Vibe mode removes the need to configure an agent before assigning tasks to them. Default agents are able to adapt dynamically as much as possible to the kind of task they receive. Vibe mode tasks are synchronous and can only be created on the cloud portal.
