Atomic task
What is an atomic task?
An atomic task is the smallest meaningful action an app can perform independently. It’s a single, intentional step that contributes to a larger workflow.
How is an atomic task used in Decidr?
We use atomic tasks to make agentic action explainable, traceable and improvable. By breaking workflows into atomic pieces, apps can coordinate more precisely and adjust their behaviour with clarity. It’s how Decidr ensures actions remain aligned with goals at every step.
Why it matters for your business
Atomic tasks reduce errors and make debugging, optimisation and scaling far easier. They give you confidence that every step is visible and accountable.
What it looks like
Atomic tasks appear as actions like:
- Updating a field
- Prioritising a support ticket
- Pulling a slice of data for a forecast
- Sending a targeted notification
In short...
Atomic tasks represent the smallest actionable tasks an app can undertake. They allow apps to act with precision and purpose.
