#Scheduled Tasks

Scheduled tasks let agents run automatically on a recurring basis. Set up daily summaries, weekly reports, monitoring checks, or any task that should happen without manual intervention.

#Overview

A scheduled task triggers an agent to execute a predefined prompt at specified intervals. The agent runs as if a user had sent the message, with full access to its tools, knowledge base, and memory.

Use cases:

• Daily news digests on specific topics
• Weekly code review reports
• Periodic data monitoring and alerts
• Automated research on evolving topics

#Schedule Types

All schedules support timezone configuration.

#Creating Tasks

1. Navigate to the Scheduled Tasks section
2. Click Create Task
3. Configure:
   • Agent — Which agent to run
   • Prompt — The message to send to the agent
   • Schedule — When to run (daily, weekly, cron)
   • Timezone — Your local timezone
   • Max Runs — Optional limit on total executions
4. Save and activate

#Agent-Created Tasks

Agents can also create scheduled tasks themselves using the scheduled task tool. For example, if you ask an agent to "monitor this topic daily," the agent can create a recurring task to do so.

This is particularly useful with the Root Agent, which uses autonomous exploration to discover content and schedule follow-up research.

#Managing Tasks

Active tasks can be viewed and managed:

• Pause — Temporarily stop a task without deleting it
• Resume — Reactivate a paused task
• Edit — Change the schedule, prompt, or configuration
• Delete — Permanently remove a task
• View history — See past executions and their results
