Attività SelfManaged

The SelfManaged Task is an essential building block for constructing AI workflows that require clear task management, explicit definitions of objectives, and assignment of autonomous agents. It is particularly useful for scenarios where you need to break down complex AI processes into discrete, well-defined tasks, each with its own requirements and expected outcomes.

Purpose and Functionality

This component enables users to define tasks in a hierarchical structure, where each task is:

• Clearly described: Users provide a detailed description of what the task is, what it should accomplish, and how it should be executed.
• Outcome-oriented: The expected output for the task is explicitly specified, ensuring clarity for both human collaborators and AI agents working on the workflow.
• Self-managed: Each task can be assigned to an agent responsible for its completion, supporting both manual and automated execution.

Inputs

The component requires two main inputs, both designed to promote clarity and transparency:

Both fields support multiline input, allowing for detailed instructions and specifications.

Outputs

Upon configuration, the component outputs a structured Hierarchical Task object that encapsulates the task’s description, expected output, and agent assignment. This output can be used as input for downstream components, orchestrators, or agents in your workflow.

Why Use the SelfManaged Task Component?

• Clarity: Ensures every task in your AI process is explicitly defined, reducing ambiguity and errors.
• Modularity: Supports breaking down complex goals into manageable, self-contained tasks.
• Traceability: Captures both the task description and expected output as metadata, making it easy to trace decisions and outcomes throughout your workflow.
• Agent Integration: Designed to interface seamlessly with AI agents or human operators responsible for task execution.

Typical Use Cases

• Defining step-by-step tasks in an AI planning workflow
• Assigning and tracking responsibilities within multi-agent systems
• Enforcing documentation and expectations in collaborative AI projects
