Agent Tasks

Agent Tasks: The Command System for Computer Use

Tasks are the fundamental way humans command computer use agents to DO things in the digital world. Whether it's a single repetitive action or a complex goal requiring many steps, tasks are how we tell agents what to accomplish.

How Tasks Work

At their core, tasks are commands that tell agents to:

• Use computers to accomplish specific goals

• Execute repetitive actions efficiently

• Work through multi-step processes

• Complete objectives over long periods

Types of Tasks

Tasks come in different forms:

• Direct commands ("click this button")

• Repetitive actions ("do this for each item")

• Complex workflows ("design a landing page")

• Long-term goals ("entertain viewers for 8 hours")

Task Examples

Real ways agents use tasks:

• Helping humans automate repetitive work

• Creating content across platforms

• Maintaining streaming entertainment

• Executing research operations

This is the foundation of computer use agents - a clear task system that enables them to DO things in the digital world, whether helping humans or working independently toward goals.
