Task Apps & Agentic Orchestration

Task Apps are focused apps that each do one specific job. You give them defined inputs, for example a contract, a client name and a date — and they return structured results: a risk summary, a memo, an extract. When Task Apps are attached to a Chat App, the Chat App acts as a coordinator: it takes your request, decides which Task Apps to call and in what order, and brings their results together. This is agentic orchestration.

Key Concepts

• Task App: A specialist app with defined inputs and outputs. Each one handles a single function well.
• Chat App: The app your team interacts with. When Task Apps are attached, it coordinates them automatically based on your request.
• App Network: A coordinator Chat App with one or more Task Apps attached to it.

Building a Task App

1. Go to the Lega Lab    and click Build from Scratch   under the Create Apps    section .
2. Set the app mode to Task   .
3. Navigate to Prompts    and define your input parameters    via the Initial Prompt   section. Examples of an input parameter are a contract document, a client name or even a date.
4. Write a system prompt describing the job and providing context of the task to the LLM.
5. Define your output parameters in the Response   section.
6. Save, test, and publish when ready.

Connecting Task Apps to a Chat App

1. Open an existing Chat App in the Lab.
2. Access the app settings by clicking the arrow beside the app name and selecting Edit Settings   
3. In app settings, locate the Tasks   tab.
4. Click on Add Tasks   and select the Task Apps you want the coordinator to be able to use.
5. Click on Add    and then Save   .

Using the “/” Command

Once Task Apps are attached to a Chat App, type “/” in the chat input to open a menu of available Task Apps. Start typing to filter by name, then click or press Enter to run one.
