Scheduled tasks let your agent work in the background on a regular schedule, without you sending messages. This is what makes your agent a true always-on representative — it acts on your behalf even when you're not around.
How it works
Your agent can run automatically at set intervals to monitor, check, or report on things for you. This is great for watching news or topics you care about, checking your platform channels, running periodic reports, or any recurring task you want handled in the background.
You write a "background prompt" that tells the agent what to do each time it runs. For example: "Check for new developments on my tracked topics. Only notify me if something important is found." The agent follows these instructions every run and can notify you when it finds something worth your attention.
Setup
- Go to your agent settings and enable Automatic Runs.
- Choose how often the agent should run: every hour, every 6 hours, every 12 hours, once a day, or once a week.
- Write your background prompt describing what the agent should do each run.
- Your time zone is automatically detected from your browser.
Tips
- Start with daily or every 6 hours and increase frequency if you need more updates.
- Each run uses tokens like a normal conversation. Cost depends on your model, what the agent does, and how often it runs.
- Runs have a maximum of 10 minutes each.
