Multi-Agents

Deploy teams of AI agents in your projects to execute multiple tasks concurrently.

Updated over a month ago

Overview

Would you like to team up with personalized AI assistants that think just like you? Multi-Agents are an evolution of Taskade's agentic workflow designed to work on multiple tasks concurrently in the background while you focus on other things.

❗ Imortant: We have introduced a completely new way to chat and interact with multiple agents. Check our guide to AI Teams to learn more.


Set Up Your AI Agents

You can build and deploy a team of multi-agents using your existing Custom AI Agents, or you can create new agents for this purpose.

πŸ€” When to create AI agents: If a task comes up regularly or takes over 15 minutes of your focus, or if you're frequently troubleshooting the same problem, setting up an AI agent can be a game changer.

    1. Go to the Agents tab at the top of your workspace/folder.
      ​

    2. Click βž• Create agent to open the agent creator.

Method #1: Start from scratch

  • In the agent creator, click βž• Start from scratch.

  • Create a unique name for your custom agent.
    ​

  • Select an avatar or upload your own.

Method #2: Use one of the available agent templates.
​

  • Pick an agent template from the list at the bottom.
    ​

  • Create a unique name for your custom agent.
    ​

  • Select an avatar or upload your own.
    ​

  • Click Create to save the new agent.

πŸ’‘ Note: Visit our Custom AI Agents guide for detailed instructions.


Team Up with AI Agents

There are two ways you can use collaborate with Multi-Agents inside projects:

  • Assign a single agent to several tasks:
    ​

    1. Select the first task you want your agent to work on.
      ​

    2. Type / + custom command associated with your agent.
      ​

      • You don't need to type the entire command.
        ​

    3. Press ⌨️ Enter to execute the command.
      ​

    4. Click anywhere in the project to minimize the agent window.
      ​

    5. Repeat steps 1-3 to assign the agent to additional tasks.

πŸ’‘ Note: Agent names are visible under the tasks they are working on, with a spinning circle indicating tasks in progress. Click the names to show a conversation history of each of the agents assigned to a task.

  • Assign multiple agents concurrently:
    ​

    1. Select the first task you want an agent to work on.
      ​

    2. Type / + custom command associated with an agent.
      ​

    3. Press ⌨️ Enter to execute the command.
      ​

    4. Click anywhere in the project to minimize the agent window.
      ​

    5. Use a different command on a task to deploy another agent.
      ​

    6. Repeat the process to deploy additional agents.

πŸ’‘ Note: You can deploy multiple agents to work on the same task.

  • Bulk-assign tasks to an agent:
    ​

    • Left-click & hold to select the first item in a series.
      ​

    • Drag the mouse cursor up or down to select more items.
      ​

    • Click the πŸ‘€ Assign icon that appears in the Multi-Select Toolbar.
      ​

    • Choose the agent and you're all set!

πŸ’‘ Note: Read our Multi-Select Toolbar guide to learn more.


The agent sidebar unlocks quick access to your virtual team, pre-trained on your knowledge and with access to third-party applications (coming soon).

  1. Create agents following the steps in this article.
    ​

  2. Each new agent will be added to the sidebar on the right.
    ​

  3. Click avatars in the sidebar to interact with agents.


Iterate on the Output

Every agent comes equipped with both short and long-term memory, which allows you to browse its conversation history and iterate on the output.

  • Reprompt the agent:
    ​

    1. Click the agent name under a task.
      ​

    2. Type a follow-up prompt in the chat interface.
      ​

    3. Browse previous interactions using the arrows in the top-right corner.
