Deep-research Tasks
Tasks are asynchronous AI jobs — long-running research, monitoring, scheduled analysis — that run in the background after you assign them to Alphio AI.
Find it at: /tasks
1. Task types
Alphio supports four task types. The type is inferred from how you phrase the request; Alphio AI picks the right one and surfaces it in the task detail.
| Type | Trigger | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | One-shot research that runs once and finishes. | "Write a deep-dive on NVDA's data-center segment." |
| Monitor | Continuous monitoring; fires whenever a condition holds. | "Alert me when SOL crosses 200 and RSI is below 30." |
| Event | Triggered by a market or news event. | "Notify me on every CPI release with a one-paragraph summary." |
| Periodic | Runs on a schedule (cron). | "Send me a daily AAPL recap at 8 AM ET." |
Each task carries a status: Scheduled (waiting to fire), Running (currently executing), Done / Finished (completed), or Failed / Cancelled.
2. Creating a task
There are two entry points:
- From chat. Phrase the request as a workflow — "alert me when…", "every morning…", "watch BTC for…". Alphio AI parses the intent, builds the task config, and you approve it inline before it's saved.
- From the Tasks page. Open
/tasks, switch the top tab to Trading or General, then click one of the four prompt cards on the right rail or Create Custom Task to start a guided chat.
The two top-level tabs separate task lists:
- Trading — trade-execution tasks managed through the Agentic Trading pipeline.
- General — research, monitoring, and notification tasks managed through
/v1/task/*.
3. Monitoring
Open /tasks to see every task you've created.
- List view. Each row shows the status badge, summary, creation timestamp, and an active/paused Switch in the top-right. Click a row to open its detail panel on the right.
- Status icons.
- Running — purple spinner.
- Scheduled — magenta clock.
- Done / Finished — green check.
- Failed / Cancelled — red cross.
- Detail panel. Shows the original instruction, frequency, next / last execution timestamps, the live chart (for trading tasks), the rule that drives the task, and an execution log timeline.
- Pause and resume. Use the row-level Switch to toggle the task active state without deleting it. Finished and failed tasks can't be re-activated.
- Delete. Click the trash icon at the bottom of a row to remove a task.
4. Notifications
Tasks push results through the AI_TASK notification channel — one of the five Alphio notification categories.
- In-app. Completion and trigger events appear in the message center; clicking a card jumps to the relevant chat session or task detail.
- Push. If you've bound a Telegram account or enabled push on the mobile app, AI_TASK alerts are delivered there too.
- Email. Periodic tasks (e.g. "daily market summary at 8 AM") can be set to email delivery during task creation.
Configure delivery per channel in Notifications settings.
Default delivery channels per task type (in-app vs Telegram vs email) are being finalized. Confirm with the product team before documenting the exact defaults.
