Monitor running tasks
The Running tab on the Dashboard shows every task currently executing across your AI Agents. This guide shows you how to use it.
Use it when:
- You've just kicked off a long batch and want to see it working.
- You have an AI Team running autonomously and want to watch what it's doing.
- You're validating that a new AI Agent behaves correctly after a change.
Open the Running tab
- Open the Dashboard from the sidebar.
- Click the Running tab.
Each row represents an active task:
- The AI Agent the task belongs to.
- The task or tool name.
- The task's current status (for example Running or Needs Approval when it transitions mid-flight).
- When it started.
Tasks that reach a terminal status (success, failed, dismissed, skipped) drop off the list — the Running tab only shows in-flight work. Look at Recent Activity on the same page to see what just finished.
Empty state: "Nothing running right now — Start a conversation with one of your agents or wait for a scheduled trigger to fire."
The Tasks Running stat card at the top of the Dashboard matches the count on this tab. Use it as a quick check that work is progressing.
Focus on one AI Agent
If you're monitoring a specific AI Agent, click its name from the sidebar's AI Agents list (or from an agent row in the Running tab) to drill into its profile. For a filterable table of everything that AI Agent has done, go to Tasks Management.
Stop a running task
From the Tasks Management → Tasks tab, each running or pending row has a ⏹ stop button. The task transitions to a terminal status and stops. If it's part of a batch, the batch continues with the remaining rows.
To stop a whole batch, open the batch modal (from Task Batches on the Dashboard or Tasks Management → Batches) and click ⏹ there. See Tasks Management for details.
If the Running tab doesn't update
Live updates depend on a WebSocket connection. If rows don't appear or disappear when you'd expect them to:
- Refresh the page.
- Check your internet connection.
- Disable any browser extension that blocks websockets.
