Schedules

Schedules let your delegate wake up at specific times to check in and take action. They’re how you automate recurring work.

What Schedules Do

A schedule tells your delegate to wake up at regular intervals and do something. Common uses:
  • Status checks - “Every Monday, review project status and post an update”
  • Reminders - “Every Friday at 3pm, remind me to submit my timesheet”
  • Monitoring - “Every day, check my inbox for urgent customer emails”
  • Reports - “Every week, create a summary of completed tasks”

Creating Schedules

Through Conversation

The easiest way to create a schedule:
“Every Monday at 9am, review my calendar for the week and flag any conflicts.”
“Check my email every morning and summarize anything urgent.”
Your delegate will create the schedule and confirm the details.

Direct Setup

Create schedules in the brain:
  1. Open the Delegate Brain
  2. Click on the Schedules section
  3. Configure the schedule details

Schedule Configuration

Each schedule includes:

Interval

How often the schedule runs:
  • Minutes - Every X minutes
  • Hours - Every X hours
  • Days - Every X days
  • Weeks - Every X weeks

Time

When during the interval to run:
  • Time of day - 9:00 AM, 2:30 PM, etc.
  • Day of week - Monday, Wednesday, Friday
  • Timezone - Your local timezone

Instructions

What your delegate should do when the schedule runs:
“Check my inbox for emails from the executive team. If there are any, summarize them and post to the activity feed.”

Example Schedules

Weekly Status Update

Interval: Weekly (every Monday)
Time: 9:00 AM
Instructions: Review all tasks and projects. Create a status
canvas showing: completed items, in-progress items, blocked
items. Post to the activity feed.

Daily Email Check

Interval: Daily
Time: 8:00 AM
Instructions: Check my Gmail for unread messages. Summarize
any that need my attention, prioritized by urgency. Skip
newsletters and automated notifications.

Bi-weekly Report

Interval: Every 2 weeks (Friday)
Time: 4:00 PM
Instructions: Create a summary of all work completed in the
past two weeks. Include metrics where available. Format as
a canvas and post to the feed.

Managing Schedules

Pausing

Temporarily stop a schedule without deleting it:
“Pause the Monday status updates while I’m on vacation.”

Resuming

Restart a paused schedule:
“Resume the Monday status updates.”

Editing

Change schedule details:
“Change the status update from Monday to Tuesday.”

Deleting

Remove a schedule entirely:
“Cancel the daily email check schedule.”

Viewing Execution History

You can see when schedules have run and what happened:
  1. Open the schedule in the brain
  2. View the execution history
  3. See what your delegate did each time
This helps you verify schedules are working as expected.

Running Manually

You can trigger a schedule immediately without waiting:
“Run the weekly status update now.”
This is useful for testing or when you need the output before the scheduled time.

One-time vs. Recurring

You can create schedules that run once or repeatedly:
One-timeRecurring
Runs once then completesKeeps running on interval
”Remind me in 3 days""Every Monday at 9am”
Good for specific deadlinesGood for ongoing automation
To create a one-time schedule, simply tell your delegate when you need the reminder:
“In 3 days, remind me to follow up with the client.”
Your delegate creates a schedule that runs once and then marks itself complete.

Tips for Good Schedules

Be Specific

Include clear instructions about what to check and what action to take.

Set Appropriate Frequency

Daily checks for urgent things, weekly for status updates, monthly for reports.

Include Output Instructions

Tell your delegate whether to post to the feed, send you a message, or take other action.
