A task is one piece of content work: a title, plain-English instructions, the output types to produce (an X post, an article, a podcast episode…), and optionally attached files and skills for context.

The board

The Tasks board shows every task as a card moving through the pipeline:
The task board: Upcoming, In Progress, Needs Review, Approved, and Published columns

Tasks that hit an error show as failed and can be retried by an admin; deleted tasks are hidden, not destroyed.

Who does the work

By default a new task is picked up by Automate It’s built-in worker, which drafts the content with AI. A task can instead be assigned to a teammate — or claimed by an external agent — in which case the built-in worker leaves it alone entirely.

Task detail

Open any card to see:
  • Content items — one per output type, editable before approval.
  • Comments — the conversation between the worker and reviewers, including rejection feedback.
  • Activity — a timeline of every status change, updating live while a worker runs.
Each rejection bumps the task’s revision count, so you can see at a glance how many passes a piece took.
