Managing tasks 

Tasks are one-shot prompt templates that combine a configuration with a specific user prompt. They provide reusable AI operations that editors or extensions can execute with a single call.

Adding a task manually 

  1. Navigate to Admin Tools > LLM > Tasks.
  2. Click Add Task.

  3. Fill in the required fields:

    Name
    Display name (e.g., Summarize Article).
    Configuration
    Select the LLM configuration to use.
    User Prompt
    The prompt template. Use {placeholders} for dynamic values.
  4. Add a description so other admins understand what the task does.
  5. Click Save.

Executing a task 

Click Run on any task to open the execution form. It shows the configuration, model, parameters, input field, and prompt template.

Example tasks:

  • Summarize content — condense long articles.
  • Generate meta descriptions — SEO optimization.
  • Translate text — one-click translation.
  • Extract keywords — pull key terms from content.

The editor module 

Editors do not need backend administrator rights to run tasks: the dedicated Web > AI Tasks module (ADR-131) lists every active task and opens a slim run form — without any of the management affordances of this admin module. Access takes both switches described under Backend user permissions: the module permission on the backend group AND the Execute AI tasks grant. Every run is pre-flighted against the user's own usage budget. Tasks with the table input type are not offered to editors — their database record picker stays admin-only.
