FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring reminders and tasks using cron expressions?

You can schedule recurring reminders and tasks by providing cron expressions or simple time intervals to define execution frequency. The system uses these schedules to trigger direct messages for reminders or task descriptions for agent execution.

What's the best way to automate daily recurring tasks within the assistant?

To automate recurring tasks, define a task description and a time interval for the agent to execute at specified times. This allows the system to run actions like checking GitHub stars every hour without manual intervention.

Can I list and remove scheduled jobs after they are created?

Yes, you can manage scheduled jobs by listing active ones and removing them when no longer needed. Each job is identified by a unique job ID, allowing precise listing and removal of scheduled reminders and tasks.

How does scheduling with simple time intervals compare to using standard cron expressions?

Scheduling supports both simple time intervals for quick setup and standard cron expressions for precise recurring patterns. Both methods produce scheduled jobs that trigger reminders or agent-executed tasks at the defined frequency.

Do I need any external dependencies to set up recurring task automation?

No external dependencies are required to set up recurring task automation. The scheduling system operates independently, allowing you to create and manage reminders and tasks directly within the assistant environment.

What types of reminders can I schedule for time management?

You can schedule one-time or recurring notifications for important events and tasks. This includes direct user messages for reminders and task descriptions for agent execution, managed via job IDs for listing and removal.
