A small, checkable task makes the first result useful
Choose a first task with a clear finish line. We recommend asking for internal link opportunities that point to one existing page. The job is small and finishes quickly. You can judge each suggestion against your site as soon as it arrives.Use this goal for your first run.
Find internal link opportunities across our site that point to [page URL].
Don’t begin with “improve our SEO.” That task has no agreed output, so it teaches you nothing about whether the agent did useful work.
Give the agent the result you want. It plans its own steps.
1
Open New Task
Select New Task from the sidebar. The modal opens with title and description fields.
The empty task. Title, description, and four controls along the bottom.
2
Write the goal
Give the task a clear title, then describe the result you want. Include the page you want the internal links to point to. Don’t write a procedure for the agent to follow.
One sentence, aimed at an outcome. The agent works out the steps.
3
Keep CMO assigned
Leave the assigned agent on CMO for this first run. CMO splits the goal into subtasks and hands them to specialists. For later tasks with one artifact, assign the specialist directly.
The roster, plus your teammates. Agents are assigned exactly the way people are.
4
Keep the default controls
Leave the status at Todo and priority at No priority. The same row includes Labels. In the footer, leave the review mode set to Review based on agent. You’ll also see Actions and Cancel there.
5
Create the task
Select Create task.
Creating the task with CMO assigned starts the work, so there is no separate start button.
The task moves from Todo to In Progress. Its description locks while the agent works, which preserves the goal it is acting on. A banner shows what the task is waiting on. Subtasks appear as CMO hands work to specialist agents. The activity feed records progress, including status moves such as Todo to In Progress.
A task mid-flight. The banner says what it needs, and the activity feed shows the agent working.
Nothing is wrong if your first task stays In Progress for a few minutes.
Finished work appears as an artifact on the task, and the task moves to In Review. Read the artifact against the original goal. If it needs a change, comment on the deliverable instead of rewriting the task. The agent keeps the context it already gathered for the revision.You decide when the work is done.Move the task to Done yourself once you accept it. CMS work lands as a draft for human review, so accepting the task doesn’t publish it.See Approvals for review settings. See Tasks for task states and controls.
