# Assigning Tasks & Quick Tasks
Learn how to delegate tasks using the quick "Give task" command bar and configure one-click Quick Task shortcuts for recurring workflows.
Diaflow provides two intuitive ways to assign daily work to your AI Teammates: ad-hoc task delegation via the **Give task** command bar, and one-click shortcuts using **Quick Tasks**.
## Assigning Tasks via the "Give Task" Command Bar
You can delegate a task to any Teammate directly from the **Teammates** directory without first opening their full profile.
**Step-by-Step Guide:**
1. In your **Teammates** listing, locate the Teammate you want to delegate to (e.g., *Nora*, *Leo*, *Grace*).
2. Click the green **`💬 Give task`** button on their card.
3. A floating command bar will open with that Teammate automatically tagged.
4. **Write your instruction:** Enter your prompt in plain natural language (e.g., *"Check mail and prepare a summary of unread messages from clients"*).
* Click **`+`** to attach files or reference connected workspace resources.
* Click the **Microphone icon `🎙️`** to dictate instructions via voice.
5. Click **Run `↵`** (or press `Enter`) to start execution.

If you are already inside a Teammate's dedicated workspace, you can simply type your request directly into the center chat bar.

## Using & Managing Quick Tasks
**Quick Tasks** are pre-configured prompt chips that appear above the chat bar. They allow team members to trigger common workflows with a single click instead of typing prompts manually.
**How Quick Tasks Work in Daily Chat:**
* **One-Click Pre-fill:** Clicking a Quick Task chip instantly populates the chat input bar with the required prompt template.
* **Review Before Sending:** Quick Tasks **do not auto-send**. You can customize dates, adjust parameters, or add extra notes before clicking **Run**.
## Configuring Custom Quick Tasks
You can add, edit, or remove Quick Tasks at any time inside the Teammate Settings modal.
**How to Add a New Quick Task:**
1. Open **Teammate Settings** and select the **Quick Tasks** tab.
2. Click the black **`+` (Add)** button in the top-right corner.
3. In the **Add a quick task** modal:
* **Task title:** Enter a short, recognizable label for the chip (e.g., *"Prepare draft email response everyday"*).
* **Prompt:** Write the detailed instructions that will be passed to your Teammate when this chip is clicked.
4. Click **Save**. The new chip will appear immediately above your Teammate's chat bar.
