The Create screen: describe the task in plain English ## Output types One task can produce several pieces at once — pick any combination: * **Short-form**: X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Discord, Bluesky * **Long-form**: article, email, RSS article, podcast episode * **Other**: carousel, spreadsheet, document Each selected type becomes its own content item on the task, drafted to fit that platform's format and length. ## Publish timing Every task has a publish mode: * **Manual** (default) — after approval, nothing goes out until you press **Publish**. * **Immediate** — publishes the moment it's approved. * **Scheduled** — publishes at a date and time you set; scheduled tasks appear on the [Schedule calendar](/workflow/automations#the-schedule-calendar). ## Give the worker context Attach workspace [files](/workspace/media) or [skills](/workflow/skills) to the task and the worker reads them before drafting — brand voice, product background, reference material. The worker can also generate images for the content using your workspace's configured image model. For content you want on a rhythm — a weekly digest, daily posts — don't create tasks by hand; set up an [automation](/workflow/automations).
