SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating multiple background agents to perform long-running tasks without blocking the main workflow, enabling you to continue productive work while analyses or operations run in parallel.

Core Features & Use Cases

Launch multiple agents in parallel using run_in_background to achieve true concurrency.
Monitor progress and retrieve results via TaskOutput and /tasks to keep momentum.
Apply to research, data processing, and long-running automation where task independence is key.

Quick Start

Launch a background agent to start a long-running task while you continue working on other tasks.

FAQPage Schema

How do I run multiple tasks in parallel without blocking my main workflow?▼

You can run multiple tasks in parallel by launching background agents using run_in_background, enabling true concurrency so long-running operations execute while you continue productive work.

What is the best way to monitor progress for asynchronous background agents?▼

Monitor asynchronous background agents by checking progress and retrieving results via TaskOutput and /tasks, allowing you to keep momentum and observe concurrent execution status.

How do I safely retrieve results from long-running parallel execution tasks?▼

Retrieve results from long-running parallel execution safely by enforcing patterns for monitoring progress via TaskOutput and fetching the final data once the background agents complete.

Can I use background agents for long-running automation and research pipelines?▼

Yes, background agents are designed for research, data processing, and long-running automation pipelines where multiple independent agents must execute concurrently without blocking.

When should I use asynchronous background task management instead of sequential execution?▼

Use asynchronous background task management when task independence is key, and you need concurrent execution for long-running analyses or operations to avoid blocking your main workflow.
