Overview

Tasks in Pulze allow you to automate and schedule AI workflows. You can create recurring or one-time tasks that execute AI conversations automatically, enabling hands-free operation of your AI assistants for routine activities.

Accessing Tasks

Navigate to the Tasks section from the main menu to view, create, and manage all your organization’s automated tasks.

What Are Tasks?

Tasks are scheduled AI conversations that run automatically:
  • Execute conversations with AI assistants on a schedule
  • Automate repetitive workflows
  • Run analyses or reports at specific times
  • Integrate with other systems through scheduled interactions

Task Management Interface

The Tasks page displays:
  • Name - Descriptive task name
  • Space - Associated space logo
  • Creator - User who created the task with avatar
  • Next Run - Scheduled date and time for next execution

Task Execution

How Tasks Run

  1. Task reaches scheduled time
  2. System creates a conversation in the associated space
  3. AI assistant processes the configured input
  4. Results are stored in the conversation
  5. Task updates next run time (if recurring)

Viewing Results

Task outputs are available:
  • In the associated space’s conversations
  • Through the task’s execution history
  • Via the task details panel

Execution History

View past runs:
  • Execution timestamps
  • Success/failure status
  • Generated conversations
  • Any errors or issues

Best Practices

Clear naming: Use descriptive names that explain what the task does and when it runs.
Test first: Create a one-time task to test your configuration before setting up recurring schedules.
Monitor regularly: Check task execution history to ensure tasks are running as expected.
Document purpose: Use task descriptions to explain why the task exists and what it accomplishes.
Tasks consume API credits when they run. Monitor your usage to avoid unexpected costs with frequently running tasks.

Troubleshooting

Task Not Running

If a task doesn’t execute:
  1. Check task status is “Active”
  2. Verify next run time is in the future
  3. Ensure space and assistant still exist
  4. Check organization subscription status

Unexpected Results

If task output is wrong:
  1. Review the prompt/input configuration
  2. Check assistant settings
  3. Test manually in a conversation
  4. Adjust and update task settings

Permission Requirements

Creating and managing tasks requires appropriate permissions in the organization and associated space.
