# Overview

> Learn about QoderWake: manage digital employees (Wakers) through the Web Console, choose the right task mode, and initiate your first operation.

QoderWake manages digital employees (Wakers) through a Web Console. Before starting, determine your task mode, execution device, and working directory.

## Choose a task mode

| Mode              | Best for                                                                 | Entry point                       |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------- |
| Conversation task | One-off tasks that require follow-ups or mid-course adjustments          | Waker card or Chat                |
| Automated task    | A single Waker executing repeatedly on a schedule, event, or API trigger | Waker details → "Automated Tasks" |
| WakerFlow         | Multi-stage, multi-Waker, parallel, or human-in-the-loop workflows       | Main navigation → "WakerFlow"     |

<Tip>
  When unsure, start with a conversation to validate, then formalize it as an automated task or WakerFlow as needed.
</Tip>

## Find the right entry point

| Entry point                      | Primary operations                                |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Waker Management / Chat          | Create Wakers, start or continue conversations    |
| WakerFlow / Task Board           | Orchestrate workflows, view tasks and to-dos      |
| Public Projects / Knowledge Base | Manage reusable working directories and materials |
| IM                               | Configure channels and session pairings           |
| Settings                         | Manage system, devices, diagnostics, and updates  |

## Pre-task checklist

1. On the Waker card, confirm the local/remote tag and online status.
2. In the input area, confirm the working directory or project belongs to the target runtime environment.
3. On first use, send a read-only task and verify the returned file information.

<Warning>
  Some entry points may be hidden depending on your account, environment, or feature flags. The working directory or project determines the persistent processing scope; attachments only supplement files for the current message.
</Warning>
