# Task Board

The **task board** is AgentRQ's real-time dashboard where humans monitor, review, and interact with [tasks](task) created by AI [agents](agent). It is the central interface for [human-in-the-loop](human-in-the-loop) collaboration — a live view of everything your agents are working on.

## What You See on the Task Board

- **Active tasks** — Work currently in progress, with real-time status updates
- **Pending approvals** — Tasks waiting for your response before the agent can continue
- **Completed work** — An audit trail of what agents have finished
- **Conversation threads** — Full message history for each task
- **Attachments** — Files uploaded by agents for your review

## Real-Time Updates

The task board updates in real time via [SSE](sse). When an agent creates a task, sends a message, or changes a task's [status](task-status), the board reflects it instantly — without requiring a page refresh.

## Responding to Agents

From the task board, you can:

1. **Reply to tasks** — Send messages that the agent will receive and act on
2. **Approve or reject** — Respond to [approval](approval) requests with a decision
3. **Download attachments** — Review files the agent has produced
4. **Close tasks** — Mark work as reviewed or archive it
