A **task** is a conversation with the OptiQube agent. You describe the catalog ads you want in your own words, and the agent drafts creative concepts for your store.

## What to do

1. Click **+ New task** in the left sidebar.
2. Describe the campaign in the box under **What should we create for…?** For example: *"Autumn catalog ads for our running shoes: warm outdoor lifestyle scenes, English ad copy."*
3. Click the arrow button to send it.

Not sure what to write? Click one of the buttons under the box: **General catalog ad**, **Seasonal catalog ad** or **Copy this ad**. They fill in a starting sentence that you can edit before sending.

> **Tip:** Under the prompt box you can also attach a reference image. Your logo goes on the creatives automatically, based on your [Brand DNA](https://support.optiqube.ai/en/articles/set-up-your-store-and-brand-dna).

## Answer the agent's questions

The agent asks a few short questions before it starts. Pick one of the suggested answers, or type your own in the box at the bottom.

- **What kind of catalog ads?** General, Seasonal, or Copy this ad.
- **Which season?** For seasonal ads: Halloween, Black Friday, Christmas and so on. You can type any season, or click **Skip — you choose**.

OptiQube names the task for you, and it appears under **Recents** in the sidebar so you can come back to it any time. After it reads your store, the agent asks which product to build on.

> **Done when:** the agent has your answers and asks which product to feature.
