Schedule a task

Create a one-time or repeating job with an explicit timezone, execution target, and destination for the result. A reminder, a task for your agent, and a calendar event have different effects.

Open it

On desktop or mobile, open Home → Calendar. Use the add control and choose the task option, or ask in Chat. Open All tasks to inspect and manage saved scheduled work.

Create a useful schedule

“Every weekday at 5pm America/Los_Angeles, summarize the unresolved customer emails from today. Keep the summary in our conversation. Do not send replies to customers.”

  1. Enter the job clearly.
  2. Choose the date, time, and repeat behavior.
  3. Check the timezone shown; use the device-timezone option only if that is what you want.
  4. Select where it runs. Choose no computer when the work is cloud-capable, or the approved computer when it needs local files or apps.
  5. Save and verify the next occurrence and enabled state.

A calendar event invites or reserves time when created through a provider. A scheduled task runs a job. Check which add option you selected before saving.

Review what will run

Open the saved task and read its actual prompt, schedule, timezone, and device. Eligible task work uses the saved Model preference, current connections, and shared credits. The model used when you wrote the instruction is not a guarantee of every future internal step.

A local computer must be available when the task needs it. A cloud task may still fail if a connection expires, credits run out, or the provider is unavailable.

Edit, pause, or delete

Use All tasks to open the task and its available edit or enable controls. Save changes and check the next occurrence. Pause a schedule when you want to retain it without future runs; delete it when it is no longer wanted.

Pausing check-ins does not pause all scheduled tasks. Changing a task does not undo earlier sends or other completed actions.

Inspect the result

Open the run or related Chat and check its final outcome. A future occurrence in Calendar proves the schedule is saved, not that a prior run succeeded. Look for partial completion, failures, and pending approval.

For a missed or duplicate run, record the task name, expected time and timezone, repeat rule, selected device, and visible result before contacting support.
