SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of forgetting time-based actions by letting you schedule reminders and recurring work that runs reliably without you having to remember to start it.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reminder scheduling: Send direct messages to you at fixed intervals or specific times.
  • Recurring task execution: Periodically run an agent task and return the result to you.
  • One-time timed jobs: Trigger a job once at a specified ISO datetime and automatically remove it after execution.
  • Timezone-aware scheduling: Use an IANA timezone so schedules match your local reality even when the server timezone differs.

Quick Start

Schedule a recurring reminder by telling the assistant: “Add a reminder every 20 minutes saying Time to take a break.”

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring agent tasks and reminders automatically?

Set up one-time timed jobs by providing a specific ISO datetime. The system triggers the job once at that exact moment and automatically removes it from the schedule after execution completes.

Does scheduling support timezone-aware cron expressions?

Manage existing scheduled jobs by using the add, list, and remove parameter flows. You must provide the specific job_id when requesting removal to accurately target and delete the intended scheduled task or reminder.

Can I trigger a one-time scheduled job at a specific ISO datetime?

Set up one-time timed jobs by providing a specific ISO datetime. The system triggers the job once at that exact moment and automatically removes it from the schedule after execution completes.

How do I list and remove existing scheduled reminders?

Manage existing scheduled jobs by using the add, list, and remove parameter flows. You must provide the specific job_id when requesting removal to accurately target and delete the intended scheduled task or reminder.

What are the limitations when using cron expressions for agent automation?

Limitations of cron expression scheduling include requiring valid syntax for parsing and relying on server local time if an IANA timezone value is not explicitly provided, which may cause timezone misalignment in global deployments.
