What is a Task?
A Task is where you do your work in Multiply. Tasks live either privately on their own, or inside a Project. Each task gives you a focused space to run research, generate content, and iterate with your agents.
Starting a task
Type in the prompt box on the Home page. The task is private to you.
Click + next to Tasks at the top of the sidebar to open a new, empty private task.
Type in the prompt box at the top of a project. The task is shared with everyone in the project.
The Chat view
When you open a task, you land in the Chat view. Type what you need at the bottom of the screen, and Multiply works out what to do and delegates it to the right agents. Results appear as a running conversation. While it works, a Thinking... panel lists each step.
Questions and plans
Multiply starts working straight away on most requests. Sometimes it checks first:
A question. If your request could go in several directions, Multiply may ask a question with a few options. Pick one, write your own answer, or click Skip.
A plan. For long pieces of work, or when you ask for one, Multiply proposes a plan. Untick any steps you don't want, add a comment, then click Confirm to start or Reject to change course.
Multiply waits for your answer before it continues. Ask for a plan any time, for example "Show me a plan before you start."
Agents
Multiply delegates the work to the right agents on its own. You can see which agent did the work in the block header. To steer it, name the agent in your prompt, for example "Ask the Copywriter for three headline options." See Agents: what they are and how to create one.
Blocks
When an agent produces output, it appears in a block, such as a research report, a brief, a strategy or an email draft.
Blocks appear in the Blocks panel on the right, folded to their Key takeaways.
Full report expands the whole block.
Each block also appears as a card in the chat, with the same takeaways. Open jumps to the block in the panel.
The download icon copies or exports the block.
Click the X in the Blocks panel header to close it and return to a full-screen chat. See Blocks.
Intelligence Sidebar
Click the sidebar icon
to open the Intelligence Sidebar alongside your task. It shows context relevant to your current work and the task's files, under Uploaded files and Generated files. Click again to close it.
