Tasks

What are Tasks?

Tasks are units of work that your assistants will perform based on your predefinition in the admin panel. Typical tasks include ‘Translate,’ ‘Simplify Text,’ ‘Check Syntax,’ etc. Assistant-Engine via API and admin panel enables automated execution of these predefined tasks through either user-triggered actions in the UI or background automation, allowing users to streamline repetitive processes and enhance efficiency and precision in their application workflows.

Creating a Task

To create a new task:

1. Within your project, navigate to the Tasks section.
2. Click on New Task or Create Task.
3. Fill in the task details:
   • Title: A concise name for the task (e.g., "Simplify Text").
   • Required Context: Specify the array keys that must be present when the task is invoked via the API to ensure proper execution.
   • Description: A description of what the task is supposed to do.

4. Fill in LLM Settings for the task:
   • Model: Choose the model you want the task to run (GPT-4o or GPT-4o mini).
   • Max. prompt tokens: You can set a token limit for LLM request to cap the token count to ensure communication with the LLM does not cause unexpectedly high costs (Might negatively influence performance)
   • Max. completion tokens: Option to set a token limit for LLM response
   • Truncation Strategy: Default is set to "auto". Option to choose "Last Messages" enabling possibility to set manual max "Last Message Count" to include in LLM request.
   • Instructions: A description of how the task is supposed to be completed.
