What Are Custom Tasks?

Custom tasks in Blendit.ai are pre-defined instructions that guide your AI agents to perform specific actions. Think of them as shortcuts for complex prompts or frequently used commands.

Why Use Custom Tasks?

  • Save time on repetitive actions
  • Ensure consistency across your team
  • Simplify complex prompts into easy-to-use commands
  • Tailor AI actions to your specific business needs

Creating a Custom Task

Ready to create your first custom task? Follow these steps:

  1. Select an agent to perform the task
  2. Give your task a clear, descriptive name
  3. Write a brief description of what the task does
  4. Assign a category for easy organization
  5. Set visibility (private or public for team access)
  6. Write the task instructions (the heart of your custom task!)

Adding Variables to Your Tasks

Want to make your tasks more flexible? Use variables! Here's how:

  1. In your task instructions, use curly braces {} to define a variable
  2. Example: Write a blog post about {topic}
  3. When using the task, you'll be prompted to fill in the variable

Pro tip: You can use multiple variables in a single task for even more customization!

Task Instruction Tips

  • Be specific about formatting requirements (e.g., HTML, headers, bold text)
  • Include word count limits if needed
  • Specify any particular style or tone you want the AI to use
  • Add examples of good outputs using *** to separate them from the instructions

Examples of Custom Tasks

Simple Task (No Variables)

 Write a viral LinkedIn post. Please start the post with a "how to" or "how I". Make a bold opinion about the topic in line two. Do not write more than 500 words. Add a call to action question about the topic at the end of the post.

Task with Variables

 Write a viral LinkedIn post about {topic}. Please start the post with a "how to" or "how I". Make a bold opinion about {topic} in line two. Do not write more than {word_count} words. Add a call to action question about {topic} at the end of the post.

Remember, the beauty of custom tasks is in their flexibility. Don't be afraid to experiment and refine your tasks as you go. The more you use and tweak them, the more powerful your Blendit.ai workflow will become!

Now go ahead, create your first custom task, and watch your productivity soar!
