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?β
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 Tasksβ
Navigationβ
- Go to the left navigation bar
- Click Tasks
- On the Tasks page, you can view:
- Featured use cases
- Your created tasks
- Active and paused tasks
Usage Limitsβ
- 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 Createβ
A. General Scheduled Tasksβ
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 Tasksβ
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 brandβs 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 Tasksβ
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) Accessβ
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.
Connectorsβ
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 Dashboardsβ
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 Workβ
High-Level Flowβ
- Define the objective
- Select a schedule
- Connect required tools or databases
- DeepAgent executes:
- Reasoning
- Data retrieval
- Analysis
- Action (email, post, DB update, file generation, etc.)
- Execution is logged
- The task repeats automatically
With DB-backed Tasks, each run can build on historical data.
Testing & Validation Before Finalizing a Taskβ
Always test a Task manually at least once before scheduling it long-term.
After creating your Task:β
- 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 Validationβ
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 βconnectedβ is not enough β confirm real execution.
Database Task Validationβ
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 Tasksβ
Use Regular Tasks when:β
- Generating content
- Posting updates
- Sending reports
- Running simple automations
Use DB-Backed Tasks when:β
- You need persistent memory
- You manage structured customer data
- You require conditional workflows
- Youβre building internal automation systems
- You want continuous optimization based on history
