How Agent plans and manages complex tasks with todos and queuing
Agent can now plan ahead and manage complex tasks with structured to-do lists and message queuing, making long-horizon tasks easier to understand and track.
Agent to-dos
Agent breaks down longer tasks into manageable steps with dependencies, creating a structured plan that updates as work progresses.
How it works
- Agent automatically creates to-do lists for complex tasks
- Each item can have dependencies on other tasks
- The list updates in real-time as work progresses
- Completed tasks are marked off automatically
Visibility
- To-dos appear in the chat interface
- If Slack integration is set up, to-dos are also visible there
- You can view the full task breakdown at any time
For better planning, describe your end goal clearly. Agent will create more accurate task breakdowns when it understands the full scope.
Queued messages
Queue follow-up messages while Agent is working on the current task. Your instructions wait in line and execute automatically when ready.
Using the queue
- While Agent is working, type your next instruction
- Press Enter to add it to the queue
- Messages appear in order below the active task
- Reorder queued messages by clicking arrow
- Agent processes them sequentially after finishing
