What You’ll Learn
- How to assign distinct tasks to different AIs in one message
- The task assignment format
- Real-world examples you can use immediately
- When this approach works best
How It Works
In one message, @mention multiple AIs and give each a specific instruction. Each AI:- Sees the full message (including all other tasks)
- Responds only to their assigned part
- Benefits from the shared context
The Format
Examples
Competitive Intelligence
Product Launch Prep
Content Research
Decision Making
Market Entry
Why This Is Powerful
- Parallel processing - Four AIs working simultaneously on different angles
- Specialization - Each AI does what it’s best at
- Comprehensive coverage - Nothing gets missed
- One conversation - All answers in one place, building on shared context
Tips for Best Results
- Be specific - “Find recent statistics” works better than “look into this”
- Play to strengths - Give research tasks to Perplexity, real-time to Grok, analysis to Claude, structure to GPT, synthesis to Gemini
- Add context first - Start with a sentence explaining the overall goal before the task assignments
- Follow up - After the initial responses, ask follow-up questions to dig deeper on the most interesting findings
When to Use Task Assignment
- You have a complex question with multiple distinct angles
- Different AIs have clear strengths for different parts
- You want comprehensive coverage fast
- You’re preparing for a decision and need diverse inputs
When NOT to Use It
- Simple questions with one clear answer
- When you want AIs to build on each other (use sequential instead)
- When you’re not sure what you need yet (let all 5 respond normally first)
