Short answer

How can I update task details and comments with my AI?

You tell your agent what needs to change, and it applies those updates to Flow. It can modify task fields or add new comments to a thread. You'll see the updated information in your workspace immediately.

Where your updates land.

What you get from your agent.

Your agent handles the data entry so you don't have to.

DATA

Updated task info

The agent modifies task fields like deadlines or status. Your project details stay current without manual clicking.

CHAT

New task comments

Your agent posts discussion updates directly to a task. This keeps the conversation history in one place.

CONTEXT

Current task state

The agent reads existing task data to ensure it has the right information. This prevents incorrect updates.

HUMAN

Manual review

You decide when a task needs a human eye. The agent does the typing, but you keep the final say.
