Task Queue
Task queue is an AI interface design pattern that displays a visual queue of tasks the agent is working on, showing progress status, pending items, and completed actions in real-time. This UX pattern provides transparency and control in multi-step agent workflows by allowing users to see what tasks are queued, which are in progress, and which have been completed. Each task typically shows its status (pending, running, completed, failed) with visual indicators, enabling users to understand the agent's progress and intervene if needed. This pattern is essential for autonomous agents that handle complex, multi-step workflows where users need visibility into the agent's activity and the ability to monitor or cancel tasks.
Use Case
Ideal for autonomous AI agents, workflow automation tools, and multi-step task systems where users need visibility into agent progress and task status.
