Frequently asked questions about Project Manager agent

The Project Manager agent is a member of your team who can collaborate throughout all stages of your plan

Plan creation:

• The Project Manager agent can generate tasks for your plan based on a given goal and relevant files. It can understand the plan's goals and use files added to the plan to understand unique context. It then generates a set of tasks that need to be completed to achieve the given goal successfully.

Task execution:

• The Project Manager agent can be assigned to tasks for execution. Upon assignment, the Project Manager agent will understand the task in the context of the larger plan, taking into account specific task details including the description and associated goal. The agent will also consider any unique context provided from the plan files that is relevant to the task. Then, the Project Manager agent will execute the task and provide its output in a Loop component within the task details.

• The Project Manager agent can take and act on feedback that is given on its output. Simply type your feedback directly into the associated Loop component or leave a comment and select Regenerate. Then, the Project Manager agent will take your feedback into account and re-execute the task to better fit your expectations.

The Project Manager agent can be assigned to any task in your plan, however it may not always be able to successfully complete the task. For example, if you assign it a task to build a house, it will not be able to successfully build a house. However, in these cases, it will output a set of instructions for how you can go about completing the task, yourself. In this way, the Project Manager agent never leaves you with a dead end.

The Project Manager agent is best at completing tasks that require textual or image-based outputs and can also format outputs in a table.
