Introducing Background Task Queues: Never Wait for AI Again
HeyBoss now supports non-blocking AI coding with intelligent task queues, allowing developers to continue working while AI processes complex tasks in the background.
HeyBoss now supports background task queues that eliminate the productivity-killing wait times during AI coding sessions. You can now queue multiple tasks, continue working, and let our AI agents process your requests in the background without blocking your workflow.
What's new
Smart Task Queuing – Add multiple coding tasks to your queue during any stage of AI development. No more waiting for the current task to complete before planning your next move.
Non-blocking Interface – The chat input remains fully functional during AI coding sessions, allowing you to queue follow-up tasks like adding forms, creating blog posts, or implementing new features while the AI works.
Intelligent Queue Management – Visual queue display with expand/collapse support shows your tasks in order: In Progress → Waiting → Completed. Pin priority tasks to the top or remove items you no longer need.
Seamless Auto-execution – When one coding task completes, the system automatically starts the next queued task, creating a truly autonomous development experience.
Enhanced Workflow Controls – During coding phases, previously restricted features (file uploads, plugins, Auto SEO, payments, analytics) are now fully accessible.
Why this matters
Traditional AI coding tools force developers into frustrating stop-and-wait cycles. Research shows developers lose 20-50% of their productivity to blocking interfaces that interrupt flow states and force costly mental task switching.
HeyBoss's queue system eliminates these productivity barriers by implementing proven background processing patterns used by leading platforms like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Replit. You can now:
- Plan ahead while AI works on your current request
- Batch related tasks for efficient processing
- Maintain focus without context switching
- Scale your workflow with parallel task management
How it works
- Queue Tasks Anytime – During AI Chat or Coding phases, simply type your next request and it's automatically added to the queue
- Visual Progress Tracking – See exactly what's in progress, waiting, or completed with clear status indicators
- Smart Prioritization – Pin urgent tasks or reorder your queue as priorities change
- Toast Notifications – Get instant confirmation when tasks are queued: "Your task has been added to queue"
- Auto-cleanup – Completed queues are automatically removed to keep your workspace clean
Getting started
The queue system is automatically enabled for all users. Simply start an AI coding task and begin typing your next request – you'll see the new queue interface appear with your background tasks.
Pro tip: Use the queue to batch related development tasks like "add contact form," "optimize SEO," and "integrate analytics" for maximum efficiency.
Technical details
- Queue Persistence – Tasks survive browser refreshes and network interruptions
- Resource Optimization – Intelligent batching reduces server load and improves response times
- Error Handling – Failed tasks can be retried or moved back to waiting status
- Mobile Support – Full queue management available on mobile devices
This feature builds on industry-leading background processing patterns that have proven to increase developer productivity by up to 40% in controlled studies. Join the thousands of developers already experiencing interruption-free AI coding with HeyBoss.
