Simple Tasks automate basic, focused jobs described in a single instruction set. Ideal for straightforward goals like “Do this one specific thing,” even if it involves visiting a web page or two, without complex multi-step logic. Key Characteristics:
  • Single Goal: Aims to achieve one primary objective (e.g., log in, find a specific piece of information, do a quick search, check a status).
  • Single Instruction Set: You give the agent all the directions for the job at once.
  • Direct Action: The agent follows your instructions from start to finish for that specific task.
When to Use Simple Tasks: Simple Tasks are great for common, everyday web actions like:
  • Logging you into websites or online tools.
  • Navigating to a specific page to retrieve a well-defined piece of information (like a price, status, or account balance).
  • Doing basic web searches and pulling out simple results (like page titles).
  • Filling out very short, simple forms.
  • Checking the status of something (like an order) on a single page.
  • Comparing straightforward information (like prices) across a pre-defined list of specific pages opened simultaneously.

Examples of Simple Tasks (Conceptual)

Here are some scenarios best suited for Simple Tasks:
  1. Website Login:
    • Goal: Get logged into your company’s CRM.
    • Instruction: “Log me into https://app.mycrm.com with username ‘alex.chen’ and my saved password, then go to the main dashboard.”
  2. Quick Web Search:
    • Goal: Find recent news headlines.
    • Instruction: “Search Google News for ‘latest space exploration news’ and tell me the titles of the first three articles.”
  3. Finding Specific Info:
    • Goal: Check a stock price.
    • Instruction: “Go to https://finance.example.com/quote/XYZ and tell me the current stock price.”
  4. Checking a Status:
    • Goal: See where your online order is.
    • Instruction: “Go to https://shippingtracker.com/track, enter tracking ID ‘ABC123XYZ’, and tell me the latest shipping status.”
  5. Comparing Prices (Specific Pages):
    • Goal: Compare a product’s price on two specific websites.
    • Instruction: “Open https://competitorA.com/product/widget and https://competitorB.com/widget. Find the price for the ‘Super Widget’ on both pages and tell me what they are.”
These examples show how Simple Tasks help automate common, specific actions quickly and easily.
