Chief gives each task thread a title automatically based on your conversation, so your task list stays easy to scan. You can rename a task yourself or ask Chief to generate a new title at any time.

Rename a task

Chief: rename a task — the inline title edit field with save and cancel
  1. Open the task. Hover over the title at the top of the thread to reveal its inline buttons.
  2. Click the Edit title (pencil) button. The title turns into a text field.
  3. Type the new name, then press Enter (or click the green checkmark) to save. Press Escape (or the red X) to cancel.
Good to Know: You can also rename from the task’s action menu. Click the ⋯ (three-dot) Task actions menu in the thread header and choose Edit title.

  3. The new title replaces the old one automatically.

FAQ

Titles can’t be empty and are capped at 255 characters. If you clear the field and try to save, you’ll see “Title cannot be empty.” If saving fails for another reason, you’ll see “Failed to update title” — check your connection and try again.
No. Regenerating only rewrites the task’s name. Your prompts and answers stay exactly as they are.
They live in two places: as small inline buttons that appear when you hover over the task title, and inside the ⋯ (three-dot) Task actions menu in the thread header.
