Task optimization is where CodeRide transforms your standard tasks into AI-ready formats. This process is completely automated and ensures each task has the perfect context and instructions for your AI agent.
Option 1: Right after import
After importing tasks, you'll see an "Optimize Tasks" button
Click it to optimize all imported tasks at once
Option 2: From your dashboard
Navigate to your project dashboard
Click the "Optimize Tasks" button
Select which tasks to optimize (or choose "Select All")
When optimizing tasks, CodeRide:
Analyzes each task and adds relevant project context
Structures instructions for maximum AI comprehension
Ensures consistency across related tasks
Optimizes token usage to fit within AI limits
Adds acceptance criteria and success metrics
That's it! CodeRide handles all the complexity behind the scenes. Your tasks are now ready for AI collaboration.
Note: Once optimized, tasks will show an "AI-optimized" badge in your dashboard.
Connect your AI coding agent to CodeRide by generating an API key. This takes just a minute and enables seamless integration.
Click "API Keys" in your workspace sidebar
Click "CREATE FIRST API KEY" button
Fill in the details:
API Key Name
Selected workspace
Click "CREATE"
Copy your API key from the API Keys overview
🔐 Security tip: Treat your API key like a password. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control.
