Scheduling Recurring Tasks

Set up agents that run on a schedule — daily reports, weekly monitoring, automated workflows that execute while you sleep.

Agents That Work While You Sleep

One of the most powerful features of Computer Agents is scheduled execution. Your agents run in the cloud 24/7 — they don't need your laptop open, and they don't need you watching.


Creating a Schedule

You can schedule tasks from the app or via the API.

From the app:

  1. Open a thread
  2. Click the Schedule icon in the toolbar
  3. Choose frequency: once, daily, weekly, or custom cron
  4. Set the time
  5. Write the task prompt
  6. Save

Via the API:

Notifications

When a scheduled task completes, you'll receive a push notification on all your devices — Mac, iPhone, iPad. You can also configure webhook notifications for integration with Slack or other tools.


Managing Schedules

View and manage all active schedules from the Calendar view in the app, or list them via the API:
