Tasks Overview

Tasks are the fundamental unit of work in Xagent. Simply describe what you want to accomplish, and Xagent will plan, execute, and deliver results automatically.

​
What is a Task?

A task is a natural language description of a goal you want to achieve. Unlike traditional automation systems that require predefined workflows, Xagent interprets your intent and breaks it down into executable steps.

​
Task Examples

# Research
"Research the latest AI developments and write a summary"

# Presentations
"Create a 10-slide presentation about renewable energy"

# Design
"Design a promotional poster for a coffee shop"

​
Task Configuration

Before running a task, you can configure the model settings. Task Configuration

​
Model Selection

Choose the appropriate model for your task: Main Model - Used for all task execution by default
  • Required for all tasks
  • Handles planning, reasoning, and execution
  • Used unless fast model is configured
Fast Model - Used for simple steps (optional)
  • Automatically used for steps identified as simple during planning
  • Reduces cost and improves speed for routine operations
  • If not configured, main model handles all steps
Other Model Types: Model Settings:
  • Select from configured providers
  • Adjust temperature for creativity
  • Set max tokens for output length
  • Configure other model parameters

Key Features

​
Natural Language Input

Describe your goal in plain language - no coding or workflow design required. Xagent understands context and intent.

​
File Attachments

Upload files to provide context for your tasks:
  • Documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT)
  • Spreadsheets (CSV, XLSX)
  • Images (PNG, JPG)
  • Code files
  • And more

​
Real-time Execution

Watch your task execute in real-time:
  • See each step as it’s planned
  • Monitor execution progress
  • View intermediate results
  • Iterate on the output

​
Streaming Responses

Get results as they’re generated, not just at the end. Perfect for long-running tasks where you want to see progress.

​
