Vida provides several ways to give a Computer Agent work. Choose the narrowest option that matches the job.

​
Write outcome-focused instructions

For every Task, describe:
  • the result you need
  • the systems and information the Agent may use
  • the time period or records in scope
  • how the Agent should verify success
  • actions that require confirmation
  • what should be reported if work is blocked
Avoid vague recurring instructions such as “check everything and report problems.” Define what qualifies as a legitimate issue or measurable improvement so routine checks do not become noisy.

​
Review the work conversation

Computer Tasks and repeating runs create linked Vida conversations. Open the conversation to review the instructions, progress, tool calls, results, and final response. An accepted or started Task is not proof of completion. Check its final status and verify important changes in the destination system.

​
Start recurring work safely

Create repeating work in a paused state when possible. Review the schedule and instructions, run a controlled test, inspect the result, and enable it only when it behaves correctly. Pause repeating work when its source system, permissions, or business rules change. Delete completed one-off Tasks when their Task record is no longer needed; their linked conversation can remain as work history.
