Step 3: Review and refine a task

Scroll down to the Project's list of tasks. Click into any task to open its plan. Use the chat window at the bottom of the page to adjust the task: change the angle, add a section, or exclude a source.

Go to the Project's task list, select a task to start with, and click Build agent. This takes you to the Profound Agent builder and launches Agent Assistant, which builds the Agent in front of you. Review and run the Agent to begin the work.

To investigate a specific topic or business area, select + New Project on the Projects homepage.
