The Agents board
The Agents place shows every task the agents are working on, what is waiting for you, and the team behind them.
Everything the agents do beyond a direct chat answer runs as a task. The Agents place collects those tasks from all workspaces where you are the advisor on one board, so you can see what is running, what is done and what waits for you.
What is on the page?#
Three tabs:
- Board: the tasks in four lanes – Planned, In progress, Waiting for you and Done. Failed and cancelled tasks sit in the last lane, marked as such. Each card shows the agent, a title, the kind of task and its time. Filter by workspace, and by agent.
- Activity: what happened, by people and by agents. Small checks the agents do by themselves show only here, unless they need you or fail.
- Team: the six agents, what each does, whether it is idle, working or waiting for you, and a suggested order you can start. See Arvemo and the agents.
Finished tasks stay on the board for 14 days; a task that waits for you stays until you decide.
A link at the foot leads to the agent settings; see organisation settings.
Open a task#
Click a card (on the iPhone, tap it). The task page has:
- Order: what was asked, who started it (a person, or automatically) and when.
- Trail: the course of the work in plain words – queued, started, what it reads, what it writes. The agent's thinking is there too and can be shown or hidden.
- Result: the outcome, with a button to open it where it lies.
- Usage: the model calls the task used.
Start work#
- Order it from the chat: Arvemo hands longer work to agents (Chat).
- Use a button on a page that starts an agent, or @-mention an agent in a comment.
- Try a suggested order on the Team tab.
No button waits silently. Right after you start something you get a message that the agent is working on it, with the link View task details. On the page itself the start button is replaced by the running task and its link, also after you leave and come back. The same kind of work is not started twice.
Where is the result?#
On the task page, with Open result. Many results are proposals: the task then shows Waiting for you ("Done. The result waits for your decision.") and the proposal is in approvals. The approval and its task count once, not twice. Some tasks send a bell notification when they finish.
What do the numbers mean?#
The badge at Agents counts tasks that are running or queued; small checks are not counted. On the Mac, the menu bar also shows whether Arvemo is working. The number at Approvals counts what waits for you and is separate.
Stop, repeat, failure#
- Cancel stops a queued or running task.
- Retry starts a failed or cancelled task again.
- The organisation sets how long a task may take, how many run in parallel per workspace (further ones wait in Planned) and how often one is tried again.
- When the credit is used up, the agents pause; chat and everything else keep working. See plans and credit.
Common questions#
Can clients see the board? No. Clients see results, not tasks.
Why is a task I did not start on the board? Some run automatically, for example after an upload or on a schedule you or your organisation switched on.
How long does a task take? It depends on the work. The card shows since when it runs, and the organisation sets a time limit per task.
Is a done task finished? If it shows Waiting for you, not yet: a person has to decide on the result.
