Short answer

Can my AI tell me when a Runway video is done?

Yes. Your AI uses the get_task tool to check the status of specific video jobs. It can poll for updates and notify you the moment a video moves from processing to completed.

The results.

Where your updates land.

The AI manages the technical polling and delivers the results to your chat.

NOTIFICATIONS

Instant status alerts

The AI checks the job status and sends a message to your chat once the video is ready.

LOGS

Job history tracking

Your agent keeps a record of completed task IDs and their final statuses for your review.

HUMAN

Manual review required

You still need to step in to download the final video or fix a prompt if the generation failed.

REPORTS

Batch status summaries

Ask your agent for a rundown of recent jobs to see which ones succeeded or errored out.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

    Can the AI start a new video generation?

    No. This setup is only for monitoring existing jobs using the get_task tool.

  • 02

    Will the AI notify me if a video fails?

    Yes. The AI reads the task status and will tell you if a job has encountered an error.

  • 03

    Can the AI edit the video once it's done?

    No. The AI can only report on the status and details of the job; it cannot change the video content.

    No. Once you give the command, the agent works in the background to monitor the status.
