Agent can 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 can break 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.
Planning and to-dos are currently not supported for auto mode.

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

  1. While Agent is working, type your next instruction
  2. Press Ctrl+Enter to add it to the queue
  3. Messages appear in order below the active task
  4. Reorder queued messages by clicking arrow
  5. Agent processes them sequentially after finishing

Override the queue

To queue your message instead of using default messaging, use Ctrl+Enter. To send a message immediately without queuing, use Ctrl+Enter. This “force pushes” your message, bypassing the queue to execute right away.

Default messaging

Messages send as fast as possible by default, typically appearing right after Agent completes a tool call. This creates the most responsive experience.

How default messaging works

  • Your message gets appended to the most recent user message in the chat
  • Messages typically attach to tool results and send immediately when ready
  • This creates a more natural conversation flow without interrupting Agent’s current work
  • By default, this happens when you press Enter while Agent is working
