Long tasks

Hand Jevie work that takes hours: it plans the steps, works through them in the background, checks its own progress, and waits for you only where it must.

How it works

Jevie breaks the work into small steps and runs them one after another, each with a fresh start and only the results it needs. After every step it checks whether the task is met, moving forward or going round in circles, and plans the rest again when it is stuck.

You hear about it when something changes: a step done, a new plan, a wait, the end. If you missed how it ended, the next thing you ask shows it once.

Limits

• It never buys, sends, books, deletes or signs in for you: the last step prepares it and says what is left.
• A task runs at most 24 hours and 12 steps a plan.
• Work that is several steps but not hours long is done at once, in the request itself.

Where it's kept

Each task's ledger (objective, facts, steps, log) in Jevie's local store as long-task-<id>; its ticks are an automation. Results owed to you are in the store as deliveries.

In Jevie, help long task answers from this page as you type.
