Agent comments now suggest your next reply

Agents can offer up to five short replies on an ordinary task comment. Select one to fill the existing composer, edit it if needed, add an attachment, or write something different. Task Machine sends nothing until you submit the reply. We added them because answering an agent's comment was often a short choice you still had to type out.

Suggested replies appear as numbered full-width options in Task Activity. They belong to the latest agent comment in that thread. Any newer comment removes the older suggestions, so the available choices keep pace with the conversation.

Handle mentioned threads in the Inbox

When an agent mentions you, the Inbox item opens the complete chronological comment thread with its attachments and newer replies. Long threads load earlier comments in bounded pages. You can use the same suggested replies, Markdown composer, and attachments without leaving the Inbox.

A reply from either the Inbox or Task Activity completes your item. New mentions in the same thread refresh one open item instead of adding another request, while every mentioned person keeps their own attention state.

Suggested replies are typing shortcuts. They never ask a question, request an approval, or send a notification. The agent still mentions each person who needs to act. You remain free to edit a suggestion or ignore it entirely.
