Reminders and Scheduled Tasks
Ask your agent to remind you, or to actually go do something on a schedule — daily, weekly, or once — and choose where the result lands.
On this page
Your agent can act on a schedule instead of only when spoken to. Turn it on in Admin panel → Settings, then just ask in conversation:
"Remind me to review the pipeline every Monday at 9am."
No form, no cron syntax. The agent confirms what it understood and when it will fire.
Two kinds, and the difference matters
| Reminder | Task | |
|---|---|---|
| What fires | Your text, delivered back word for word | The agent actually does the work, then sends you the result |
| Costs tokens | No | Yes — billed to the owner |
| Needs | Scheduling on | Scheduling and workflow scheduling on |
A reminder is a note to self with a timer. "Remind me to call the accountant on the 1st."
A task is a real agentic run — the agent uses its tools, searches, checks your knowledge base — and sends you what it found. "Every Monday, check my competitors' pricing pages and tell me what changed." That one costs tokens each time it runs, which is why it's a separate switch.
When it can run
Once, or recurring: hourly, daily, weekdays, weekly, or monthly, at a local time you choose. Hourly is the fastest recurrence allowed.
Times are in your timezone, and daylight-saving shifts are handled — a 9am daily task stays at 9am across the clock change rather than drifting an hour. Monthly on the 31st clamps to the last day in short months.
On Telegram, the agent will ask for your timezone if it can't work it out. That's on purpose: silently assuming UTC is how a 9am reminder arrives at 4am.
Where the result lands
The agent asks where you want it: the web app, email, Telegram, or several at once. Each channel is delivered independently, so a Telegram failure doesn't cost you the email.
If you don't care, it auto-routes — your app inbox first, then Telegram, then email.
Managing them
Ask. "What have I got scheduled?" lists them; "cancel the Monday one" cancels it. You don't have to go find a settings page.
What happens when things go wrong
- Out of tokens on a paid plan below MAX — the run is skipped and you get a short notice rather than silent nothing.
- Out of tokens on MAX — it still runs, on smaller models.
- Agent suspended, or the feature switched off — checked again at fire time, not just when you asked, so a task can't outlive the permission that created it.
Tasks are processed a few per minute. A pile of tasks all set to a round hour may fire a couple of minutes late — they're never dropped, just queued.
