Who can use tasks?
👨👩👧👦 Agent Sessions is enabled by default across customer plans, except in workspaces that explicitly disabled it. There is no visible customer settings toggle.
✏️ Everyone in your workspace can open Air. Editors can ask Air to make changes. Viewers and commenters can ask Air for summaries and search
🪙 Selected assets define the request scope, and Air tasks use workspace credits. To review your balance and usage rules, see Explore Credits.
Say it once. Air handles the rest. Air is an agent for creative work that automates repetitive busywork across your workspace. Instead of tagging, renaming, and reorganizing assets one at a time, you describe what you need in plain language, review the proposed changes, and let Air execute the work across your library.
Tasks on Air
A task is a single request you give Air, with inputs or asset and board references, tool approvals when requested, and a completed summary or saved deliverables, depending on your goal. Air works directly from what your workspace already knows—including your assets, tags, custom fields, comments, version stacks, and boards—eliminating the need to re-explain your organizational setup.
Air tasks support key creative workflows:
Summarize asset status: Receive plain-language run-downs of changes, open feedback, and sign-offs based on your approval workflow.
Bulk file renaming: Apply a consistent naming convention using custom prefixes, suffixes, sequential numbering, or asset details across your files.
Bulk tag and metadata updates: Apply tags and custom field values across multiple assets simultaneously, or let Air assign values based on asset content.
Generate variants: Produce resized, cropped, or recolored variants of your assets. Bulk variant requests require a destination board: attach the board before submitting, or answer Air's destination question before work proceeds. Outputs are separate assets saved to that board under its create permissions; original assets remain unchanged.
Find and organize content: Locate assets and boards by name, create new boards, and manage asset membership without duplicating files.
Air can search boards by name, list top-level boards including library roots, or list a known board’s direct children. Listings cover one level at a time, not the complete descendant hierarchy. Finding a board in search does not automatically make it the destination for changes.
When adding selected assets to a board, you review and approve the proposed action. Declining changes nothing. Approved additions run in the background, and Air confirms completion. Assets remain on their existing boards; this action adds them to the destination board rather than moving them.
One source can produce and save several requested deliverables. Multiple output files use numbered title suffixes such as -variant-1 and -variant-2; single-output edits create one asset per source. Successful deliverables import into your workspace even if others fail. Air explains the limitation and an alternative in plain language.
Reach for Air tasks whenever a job is repetitive and can be described clearly in a sentence. Tasks are ideal when you:
Receive incoming deliveries from external partners or agencies and need all files renamed and tagged consistently.
Prepare boards for external sharing and want a clear, uniform naming convention so recipients immediately identify asset context.
Need to check whether all collaborators have approved an asset stack before client handoff.
Want to generate quick multi-channel aspect ratios for existing assets.
For one-off visual edits or deep canvas manipulation, working in Air Canvas is recommended. For guidance on structuring instructions, see Write effective prompts for AI on Air.
From workspace view
Tasks can be initiated from multiple entry points across your workspace interface.
In the main workspace navigation header, you can access the primary Start task button at any time.
When selecting assets in your gallery or board view, the floating bottom action bar surfaces the Start task action to run requests on your selected items.
Inside the Air panel on the right, summary, rename, tag, and variant prompt templates provide starting points for those requests. You can also type instructions or start a new thread using the + icon. Typing @ or selecting the @ button opens the Assets/Boards picker. You can send a selected asset or board reference without accompanying text, including when answering a clarification.
In chat history, selecting an asset or board reference opens a preview card. Selecting the card opens the asset or board. Asset previews include file and location information plus version and comment counts. Board previews include hierarchy and item count.
Supported same-workspace asset and board share links, including supported short forms, become reference pills after a successful lookup. Cross-workspace, collection-only, canvas, external, and failed-lookup links remain text.
In workspaces with Agent Sessions access, Allow for this thread is selected by default when a tool first requests consent. You can uncheck it. Consent preferences apply independently to each tool, not to every tool or the entire workspace.
Open View tasks from the task panel header to view your history and resume previous requests. In the Tasks view, you can also view, stop, or archive tasks.
Select Load older messages to retrieve earlier conversation history. Copy and thumbs-up/down controls appear below the latest reply and on hover for older replies. Air interprets relative-date questions using UTC.
To expand your working area while keeping your request running in the background, click the Minimize icon in the top corner of the panel.
With no workspace credits, you cannot submit requests or start threads or tasks. The composer shows that credits are depleted and when they refresh. Stop remains available during an active run. Billing admins receive an Upgrade plan option; other users receive guidance to contact a billing admin.
From asset viewer
When viewing an individual file in the asset detail view, the dedicated Tasks button in the top bar provides an entry point for tasks with that asset as context. This context follows navigation within the asset modal; it does not itself select action targets, grant modification permissions, or confirm a destination for changes.
