# Tasks

> Everything that waits on you or your team, from approvals and questions to agent runs and reminders

When the AI in your organization chats, or one of your agents, needs a person, it asks. It may want an approval before a change, an answer to a question, or a connection to an app. **Tasks** collects all of these in one place, together with the runs that are working now and what comes next.

## The views

| View | What it shows |
| :- | :- |
| **For you** | What waits on you, what runs now, and what comes up next |
| **Everything** | The same, for your whole organization, with who each item waits on |
| **Responses** | Approvals and answers already resolved, with the decision |
| **Runs** | Agent runs across the organization, with their status |

**For you** and **Everything** are split into groups:

* **Needs you** (or **Waiting on someone** in Everything): approvals, questions and connections waiting for a person.
* **Running now**: runs that are working right now.
* **Coming up**: reminders the AI set for itself and the next routine runs, in time order.

## Answer a task

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Tasks">
    Click **Tasks** in the sidebar. **For you** opens first.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a task">
    Click a task to open its chat next to the list. Click **Open in full page** to work in the chat itself.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Decide">
    For an approval, click **Yes** or **No**. For questions, pick or type your answers. For a missing connection, connect the app. The chat continues right away.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can also just reply in the chat. A typed reply answers the question too.

## Filter and search

Filter by agent or by status, and search in **Responses** and **Runs**. Each run shows what started it: **Scheduled**, **Autopilot**, **Webhook**, **Event** or **Manual**.

## Reminders

In **Coming up**, a **Reminder** is something the AI scheduled for itself in a chat. Click **Cancel reminder** if you don't need it anymore.

## Email alerts

If a task waits on you and you haven't seen it, you get an email with what is being asked and an **Open** link. Several waiting chats come in one email. Turn this off with **Needs you** under **Agents** in your notification settings. The email only links to the task: you always decide in the app.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why does a routine run never show up in Needs you for approval?">
    Routine runs never wait for approvals, since nobody is there to answer. See [Routines](/agents/routines).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I see what I approved earlier?">
    In **Responses**. Each item shows **Yes**, **No**, **Answered** or **Skipped**.
