Working with agents

AgentDesk is designed around a team of agents. Each agent has a role, context, and session. Choosing the right agent helps keep work focused.

Agent vs assignee

Term	Meaning
Agent	A named AI teammate you can talk to.
Assignee	The agent currently responsible for doing a task or work chunk.
Lane	Internal UI/session mapping for one agent conversation. You usually do not need this term.

Choosing the right agent

Work type	Suggested agent type
Requirements, scope, acceptance criteria	Product / PO assistant
Architecture or cross-system design	Solution architect
Backend/API/data work	Backend engineer
Frontend/UI work	Frontend engineer
UX/UI design	Designer
Testing/review	QA/reviewer
Deployment/runtime operations	DevOps
Positioning/marketing/PMF	Marketing or business agent

Avoiding confusion

Check which agent is selected before sending a message.
Keep follow-up questions in the same relevant agent conversation when possible.
If you want another agent to review or continue work, say that explicitly.
If an agent seems to be missing context, reference the task id or attach/link the relevant file.

What should be visible

When an agent is working on something, you should be able to see:

The task or subtask being worked on.
The assignee.
The current next action.
Whether the task is active, waiting, blocked, or done.
Evidence or output when the task is complete.
