AI Task

Definitions

1. A specific job assigned to or handled by an AI system, such as summarizing a document, extracting fields, ranking candidates, or answering a question. AI tasks should be defined clearly because vague objectives make evaluation and routing harder.

   In plain English: A specific job an AI system is asked to do.

   Example: "They broke the assistant into smaller AI tasks like retrieval, classification, and draft generation so failures were easier to isolate."
