Coder Tasks is best for cases where the IDE is secondary, such as prototyping or running long-running background jobs. However, tasks run inside full workspaces so developers can [connect via an IDE](../user-guides/workspace-access) to take a task to completion.
You can also interact with Coder Tasks from your IDE. The [Coder extension for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=coder.coder-remote) (and compatible forks like Cursor) enables you to create, monitor, and manage Tasks directly from the IDE, eliminating the need to context-switch to a browser. After logging in, you get access to a dedicated Tasks view in the sidebar that lets you select a template, configure parameters, prompt an agent, and track task status or download logs. Your tasks run in Coder workspaces with access to your repos, credentials, and internal network.

The Task details view shows the user's complete chat, workspace status and, build or startup logs so you can understand what the Task is doing and troubleshoot failures. This makes it easier to confirm progress and diagnose issues without leaving the Task workflow.

> [!NOTE]
> Both Community and Premium deployments include 1,000 Agent Workspace Builds for proof-of-concept use. Community deployments do not have access to [AI Bridge](./ai-bridge/index.md) or [Agent Boundaries](./agent-boundaries/index.md). To scale beyond the 1,000 build limit or enable AI governance features, the [AI Governance Add-On](./ai-governance.md) provides expanded usage pools that grow with your user count.
