How to ask an AI agent to do a task

To ask an agent for something, open your chat with it and write the request as you would to a coworker. If it has the right skills turned on, it creates the task, changes the status, or drafts the content, and everything is recorded in the conversation.

Step by step

  1. Go to Rooms (Rooms) and open the Conversas (Conversations) tab (or click No chat (In chat) in the BrainPilot Agentes (Agents) list).
  2. In the Canais & Membros (Channels & Members) sidebar, pick the agent under Agentes de IA (AI agents).
  3. Write the request with context: client, goal, deadline, and format. Example: “create 3 post tasks for client X, due Friday”.
  4. Send it and follow the reply. When the agent proposes an action, a card appears in the conversation.
  5. Review the card. If it asks for confirmation, use Aplicar (Apply) or Recusar (Decline). Once applied, there's an Desfazer (Undo) button when the action allows it.

Call an agent in a team conversation

In any conversation, type @ and the agent's name (the message box shows “use @ para mencionar” (use @ to mention)). The agent is called right there, with your access. You can also ask an agent to bring in another AI coworker, if it has the Delegar tarefas para outro agente (Delegate tasks to another agent) skill.

What changes based on the agent's autonomy

  • Só sugere (Suggest only): the agent analyzes and recommends but doesn't change anything. Requests to create tasks become proposal cards for someone to apply.
  • Executa e avisa (Act and notify): it runs the enabled skills and logs everything in the agent's activity log.
  • Autonomia total (Full autonomy): it acts on its own within the enabled skills.

To delete a task, the agent always asks for your “yes” first. It only deletes other people's tasks if it has the Excluir tarefas (Delete tasks) skill, which is off by default.

Where the task shows up

A task created by the agent appears in your projects as usual. On the task, you can see which agent drafted it and who approved it.

Frequently asked questions

Can other people see my conversation with the agent?

No. Each person has their own conversation with the agent, marked with the Sua conversa (Your conversation) badge. To work as a group, call the agent with @ in a team conversation.

The agent said it's still replying somewhere else. What now?

It's still finishing another request of yours. Your message stays in the conversation: send it again when it's done.

Why couldn't the agent create the task?

Check that it has the Criar tarefas (Create tasks) skill and that you have permission on the client and project. The agent never does more than you could do yourself.
