Automation & Schedules

Most of the time, you send a message and your agent replies. But with schedules and automation, your agents can work for you on their own — no prompting required.

How it works

Agents can run tasks on a schedule using two built-in tools:

• Reminders — One-time tasks that fire at a specific time (e.g., “remind me to check the weather tomorrow at 8 AM”).
• Schedules — Recurring tasks that repeat on a cron pattern (e.g., “send me a daily briefing every weekday at 7 AM”).

When a schedule or reminder fires, the agent runs the task and sends the result as a new conversation on your active pipe.

Creating schedules and reminders

Just ask your agent in natural language:

"Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 3pm"
"Check my calendar every weekday morning at 6:45 AM"
"Send me a weekly summary every Friday afternoon"

You can also use the /schedule command directly or manage everything from the Schedules page.

Managed automation

Some agents come with pre-configured schedules designed by the agent author. If an agent supports managed automation, you’ll see the option on its detail page. See Managing Agents for details.

Common use cases

Daily digest

A morning schedule that gathers your calendar, weather, and news into a single summary.

Monitoring

Periodic checks on services or APIs, with alerts when something looks off.

Workflow automation

Recurring tasks like syncing data, generating reports, or sending reminders.

All schedules and reminders are visible on the Schedules page, where you can edit, pause, or delete them.
