What is Tasks?
Also known as: Directives, Assignments
By Mara Vale · Reviewed by Elena Ward · Last updated
Tasks are assignments a dominant gives a submissive to complete, often between sessions, as proof of obedience.
Tasks in context
Typical tasks are journalling, posture practice, mantras or small rituals. Good tasks are safe, private and achievable.
An AI Mistress can assign directives and follow up on them later, which keeps the dynamic alive between chats.
