Short answer

How can I track my conversion progress in chat?

Your AI uses CloudConvert tools to pull live status updates for specific jobs or tasks. You'll get immediate visibility into whether a file is still processing, finished, or failed. Here is how it works.

Job outcomes

Where your status updates land.

Your agent organizes conversion data into these four categories.

ACTIVE

Live job tracking

The AI pulls current progress for ongoing conversions. You'll know if a job is still running or if it's stuck.

HISTORY

Past job review

The agent looks up completed or failed conversions from your history. This lets you verify that files were processed correctly.

DETAIL

Granular task status

If a job has multiple steps, your AI checks the status of individual tasks. You get a clear view of exactly where a bottleneck is.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI identifies failed jobs and alerts you. You'll need to step in to fix source files or change your settings.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat and the CloudConvert engine.

  1. Find recent work

    The agent scans your recent activity to find the specific conversion you're asking about.

    list_jobs

  2. Check job progress

    Once the right job is identified, the AI pulls the current state of that specific conversion.

    get_job

  3. Inspect sub-tasks

    For complex conversions, the AI looks at the individual components to see which part is running.

    list_tasks

  4. Verify specific status

    The agent gets the exact state of a single task to confirm if it succeeded or hit an error.

    get_task_status
