Tasks run an agent prompt on a schedule — daily cost checks, weekly security audits, monthly executive reports — with no one needing to remember them. Schedule a prompt once and the assigned agent runs it automatically at the configured times.

​
Prerequisites

​
Schedule a task from the console

The fastest way to create a scheduled task is directly from the conversation input.
1

Write your task prompt

In the console input area, type the prompt you want to run on a schedule. Mention the agent, add a tool tag, then the instruction.
2

Click the calendar icon

In the input toolbar, click the calendar icon (next to the send button) to open the scheduling options.

3

Configure the schedule

Set when the task runs:
  • Frequency — daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom interval
  • Time — when the task should run (for example, 9:00 AM)
  • Day — for weekly tasks, which day(s); for monthly, which date
4

Save the task

Review the configuration and click Save.Success state: the task appears under Tasks in your workspace with its next run time.

​
Create a task from the Tasks page

Use the Tasks page when you want to name and configure a task before it first runs.
1

Open the Tasks page

Navigate to Tasks in your workspace and click Create Task.
2

Configure the task

Fill in the task details:
  • Name and description
  • Agent to execute the task
  • Prompt to run
  • Schedule (optional — leave empty for an on-demand task you trigger manually)
3

Save and enable

Save the task, then enable it to activate the schedule.Success state: the task is listed with its frequency and next run time.

​
Cadence examples

Start with weekly or monthly tasks that replace work your team already does manually, then add daily tasks once you trust the output. Scope prompts tightly — name the accounts, regions, and thresholds you care about.

​
Manage tasks

Open Tasks in your workspace to manage everything you have scheduled: Pair tasks with notifications so results reach the right people by email or Slack, and review run history periodically to tune prompts and schedules.
