Short answer

How can I change task deadlines or priorities with my AI?

Tell your agent which task to change and what the new deadline or priority should be. It updates the work order in Wing Assistant immediately. You'll see the updated details in your task list.

Task outcomes.

Where your changes land.

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

UPDATED

New deadlines set

The agent modifies the due date on an existing work order. Your task list reflects the new schedule.

REORDERED

Priority shifts

Move urgent items to the top by telling your agent to bump a task's priority. The agent updates the record directly.

VERIFIED

Status checks

Ask your agent if a task is finished or stuck. It pulls the current state from your work orders.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If a task requires complex notes or file attachments, the agent will tell you it can't do that. You'll need to handle those specific edits yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when a change is requested.

The agent acts as the interface between your chat and your task manager.

  1. Identify the task

    The agent looks up the specific work order you mentioned to ensure it has the right ID.

    get_task_status

  2. Apply the update

    The agent overwrites the existing deadline or priority field with your new instructions.

    update_task

  3. Confirm the change

    The agent checks the record one last time to make sure the update was successful.

    get_task_status

  4. Report back

    The agent tells you the task is updated or explains why the request failed.

    get_task_status
