DeepAgent Tasks

DeepAgent Tasks allow you to automate reports, workflows, outreach, analysis, content creation, database operations, and full browser-based workflows β€” all on a schedule. From social media automation to invoice reminders and AI-powered sales pipelines, Tasks turn DeepAgent into an autonomous system running continuously in the background.


What Are Tasks?​

Tasks are scheduled, repeatable DeepAgent workflows that run automatically at defined intervals (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or custom schedules):

You can use Tasks to:

  • Generate reports
  • Send emails or reminders
  • Post on social media
  • Create videos or images
  • Generate or update documents
  • Run browser automation
  • Analyze data
  • Execute database operations
  • Trigger conditional workflows

Think of Tasks as AI workers operating 24/7 on your behalf.


How to Access Tasks​

  1. Go to the left navigation bar
  2. Click Tasks
  3. On the Tasks page, you can view:
  • Featured use cases
  • Your created tasks
  • Active and paused tasks

Usage Limits​

  • Up to 20 active tasks
  • Up to 50 total tasks per user

Plan your automations strategically to stay within active limits.


Types of Tasks You Can Create​

A. General Scheduled Tasks​

Automate content creation, communication, and reporting.

Examples:

  • Generate and post tweets every 3 hours
  • Send yourself a daily to-do list from Slack
  • Create weekly reports and email them
  • Generate images or videos on a schedule
  • Create or update documents automatically

Example Workflow:

DeepAgent learns your Twitter style, researches trends, optimizes content based on engagement, and posts automatically.


B. Multi-Step Agentic Tasks​

Agentic Tasks perform multi-step reasoning and execution, not just simple rule-based automation.

Examples:

  • Find the latest Product Manager jobs daily, compile them into a CSV, and email it
  • Scan Gmail for support emails, analyze using your knowledge base, draft human-like replies, and log responses
  • Auto-reply to trending, high-engagement tweets aligned with your themes
  • Reply daily to top comments with witty, human-like responses
  • Act as your brand’s support voice β€” responding to positive mentions while skipping abuse

These are intelligent workflows that analyze, decide, and execute - not simple rule-based automations.


C. Browser Automation Tasks​

DeepAgent can run scheduled browser workflows that simulate real user actions.

Examples:

  • Log into portals and download invoices
  • Manage and update Google Sheets
  • Automate job applications from a Google Sheet
  • Automate app testing using browser-based flows
  • Monitor competitor pricing daily and email CSV reports
  • Analyze NVDA charts, capture screenshots, gather news, and email daily trading reports

Browser automation is ideal for systems without APIs or when UI-level automation is required.


D. Tasks with Database (DB) Access​

You can Schedule Tasks with DB access as well. You can create apps in DeepAgent and attach Tasks directly to their databases. This enables backend-grade automation with memory and structured data operations

With DB access, Tasks can:

  • Read and write records
  • Execute conditional logic
  • Track progress across runs
  • Maintain state and memory
  • Update structured data
  • Continuously improve workflows

Examples:

  • Monitor pending invoices and send payment reminders
  • Confirm orders and generate invoices
  • Send upcoming payment reminders
  • Generate operational reports
  • Analyze customer reviews weekly
  • Identify decision-makers and run personalized campaigns
  • Track LinkedIn outreach and optimize messaging

DB-backed Tasks enable:

  • Sales pipelines
  • CRM workflows
  • Subscription systems
  • Customer lifecycle operations
  • Lead generation engines
  • Internal analytics systems

This is where DeepAgent becomes a true operational automation layer.


Connectors​

Tasks integrate with external tools using:

  • First-party connectors (Google Services, GitHub, Slack, Twitter, YouTube, Dropbox, etc.)
  • MCPs (Model Context Protocol servers, e.g., HubSpot)
  • OAuth configurations
  • API integrations
  • Secrets management

Tasks can combine connectors + databases + browser automation in a single unified workflow.


Live Dashboards​

You can create Live Dashboards powered by Tasks.

How it works:

  • A Task runs on a schedule
  • Data is updated automatically
  • Dashboards always reflect the latest state

Examples:

  • Daily sales dashboard
  • Trading insights dashboard
  • Social media performance tracker
  • Customer support metrics
  • Lead conversion analytics

No manual updates required.


How Tasks Work​

High-Level Flow​

  1. Define the objective
  2. Select a schedule
  3. Connect required tools or databases
  4. DeepAgent executes:
    • Reasoning
    • Data retrieval
    • Analysis
    • Action (email, post, DB update, file generation, etc.)
  5. Execution is logged
  6. The task repeats automatically

With DB-backed Tasks, each run can build on historical data.


Testing & Validation Before Finalizing a Task​

Always test a Task manually at least once before scheduling it long-term.

After creating your Task:​

  • Run it once immediately
  • Verify:
    • Output accuracy
    • Correct format (CSV, email, dashboard update, etc.)
    • Correct data sources
    • Intended actions executed properly

Iterate on the prompt or configuration if needed.


Connector Validation​

If your Task uses external tools:

  • Ensure the connector is authenticated
  • Confirm OAuth permissions
  • Verify the connector can perform the required operation
  • Check that secrets and API keys are valid

A connector being β€œconnected” is not enough β€” confirm real execution.


Database Task Validation​

For DB-backed Tasks:

  • Confirm correct tables and fields
  • Verify read/write permissions
  • Validate conditional logic
  • Ensure no unintended records are modified
  • Test with sample or controlled data

Testing prevents silent failures and unintended actions.


When to Use Regular Tasks vs DB-Backed Tasks​

Use Regular Tasks when:​

  • Generating content
  • Posting updates
  • Sending reports
  • Running simple automations

Use DB-Backed Tasks when:​

  • You need persistent memory
  • You manage structured customer data
  • You require conditional workflows
  • You’re building internal automation systems
  • You want continuous optimization based on history
