Tasks let you run work without chatting: schedule an agent to run a fixed instruction on a cadence — or once, at a set time — and review each run’s result afterwards. Open the page from “Tasks” in the sidebar. A task is made of three things:

​
Creating a task

1

Open the form

Press “New task” on the Tasks page. Suggestion chips offer common starting points.
2

Describe the work

Enter a title, write the instruction the AI should follow on each run, and pick the agent to run.
3

Set the schedule

Choose “Recurring” or “One-time.” For a recurring task, describe the cadence in words — “every weekday at 10:30,” “every 15 minutes” — and the AI converts it into a cron expression, or fill in the five cron fields (minute / hour / day of month / month / day of week) directly. The form shows the resulting cadence in plain language along with the next run time, so you can check it before saving; if your phrasing can’t be read as a schedule, the form says so and leaves the fields for you to set. Pick the timezone the schedule follows. A one-time task takes a single “Run at” date and time instead.
4

Create

Press “Create.” The task appears in the list with its schedule and next run time.
A task’s instruction runs unattended — the AI cannot ask you mid-run what you meant. Write it so it stands alone, the way you would brief a colleague who works while you are away. You can always ask the AI in a chat to help you draft it.

​
Runs and review

Each firing produces a run whose reply is captured as a normal chat thread — open a run from the task’s history to read the result, and continue the conversation there if you want follow-ups.
  • The history in the task’s detail is paged 20 runs at a time, newest first, with “Previous” / “Next” controls
  • Failed runs are flagged on the task’s row so they are easy to spot
  • “Run now” fires the task immediately, without waiting for the schedule

​
The Tasks page

The tasks are listed on the left — title, agent, schedule, last run, and next run — and selecting one shows its run history and instruction in the column beside the list. When the window is too narrow for both, the detail opens as a drawer over the list instead. Drag the divider between the two to resize the list; the choice is remembered on that device.

​
Editing, pausing, and deleting

“Edit” opens in place inside the detail, with a back control to return.
  • The title, schedule, and timezone can be changed by the task’s creator or a workspace owner
  • The instruction and the agent can be changed only by the task’s creator — a run executes as the creator, using their connector access, so nobody else can change what runs on their behalf
  • Changes apply from the next run onward. Runs already in the history were produced by the previous instruction
  • A task can be toggled between enabled and disabled without deleting it, and deleted outright (deleting stops its scheduled runs and cannot be undone)
Two things can happen without you doing them. A task disables itself when it can no longer run as configured — its creator left the workspace, or the agent is no longer shared with them; fix the cause, then re-enable it. And changing a task’s agent starts a fresh review thread: the next run opens a new chat instead of continuing the old one, though earlier runs stay listed and readable.
If there is no “Tasks” entry in your sidebar, the feature is not enabled in your environment. The AI also has no way to create or change tasks from a chat — it can help you write the instruction, but the task itself is set up on the Tasks page.
