Dashboard Chat

Talk to your AI agent like a colleague — ask questions, assign work, and get real-time updates.

Overview

The Dashboard Chat is a real-time messaging interface between you and your AI agent. It's built into the Delegated dashboard and works just like any messaging app — type a message, get a response.

But it's more than a chatbot. The chat is deeply integrated with your kanban board, store data, and integrations. The agent can take action based on your messages, not just answer questions.

What You Can Do

Ask Questions

"What are you working on right now?"
"How many tasks are in the TODO column?"
"What were our top-selling products last week?"
"Summarize the emails I received today"

Create Tasks

You can create tasks directly from chat without touching the kanban board:

"Add a task to write 5 Instagram captions for our new collection"
"Create an urgent task to update the pricing page"
"I need a task for designing ad creatives, due Friday"

The agent will create the task with the appropriate title, description, and priority, then confirm it in chat.

Manage Operations

"Drop everything and prioritize the landing page task"
"Move the blog post task back to TODO"
"Check if we have any new Shopify orders"
"Send me a summary of completed tasks this week"

Tip: Be specific in your requests. Instead of "make some content," say "write 3 product descriptions for our silk pillowcases in a luxury tone." The clearer your instructions, the better the output.

File Attachments

You can send files to the agent through chat:

Images — Product photos, screenshots, design references
Documents — PDFs, brand guidelines, SOPs
Spreadsheets — Product data, pricing lists, inventory

The agent will process attachments and use them as context. For example, send a product photo and ask "write a description for this product" — the agent will analyze the image and generate copy.

Chat via API

You can also send messages programmatically:

POST /tasks-api.php?action=chat
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

{
  "message": "What tasks are currently in progress?",
  "user": "admin"
}

Multi-Channel Support

Beyond the dashboard, you can chat with your AI agent through multiple channels:

Telegram — Send messages to your Delegated bot on Telegram. Full two-way communication with task management capabilities.
Discord — Connect a Discord bot for team-based agent interaction.
Email — Send an email to your agent's address to create tasks or ask questions.

Unified history: All messages from all channels appear in a single conversation history on the dashboard. Whether you chat via Telegram or the dashboard, the agent has full context.
