Agent · Scheduled work
Anything an agent commits to for later becomes a schedule you can see, pause, or cancel. Nothing runs that you cannot find here.

Open the agent, open their side panel, and go to Schedule. You'll see every routine they have, and you can switch any one off without deleting it.

Add a routine

  1. 1Describe the job. Write what you want them to do, in plain language, the same way you'd ask in chat.
  2. 2Pick how often. Hourly, daily, weekdays only, weekly, or a one-off at a specific time.
  3. 3Pick a time. It runs in your own timezone, so 9am means your 9am.

You can also just ask an agent to set one up. If you say you want something every Monday morning, they can schedule that themselves.

NoteA local agent's routines run through the Mac app, so they need it open. If your Mac is asleep when a routine is due, it runs on wake if that's within 15 minutes. Any later and that run is skipped with a note saying so, and the routine simply runs at its next scheduled time. A cloud agent's routines run on Dock's machines, so they fire whether or not your laptop is open.
