FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring tasks for an AI agent to run automatically?▼

Schedule recurring agent tasks by defining persistent goals with specific instructions and daily or automatic scheduling modes. The executive node tracks execution and maintains goal persistence for automated workflow management.

What is the best way to manage persistent scheduled goals for an automated workflow?▼

Manage persistent scheduled goals by creating, listing, updating, or deleting tasks with specific instructions and scheduling modes. This streamlines workflow automation by tracking execution status and last run results for each active goal.

Can I update the schedule or instructions of an existing task without recreating it?▼

Yes, you can update existing goals to modify their scheduling details and instructions without recreating them. This supports flexible adjustments to task management workflows while maintaining persistent execution tracking.

Does this task management approach support manual execution alongside daily scheduling?▼

Yes, task management supports manual, automatic, and daily scheduling modes with specific run times. You can trigger goals manually or rely on scheduled execution, integrating with an executive node for persistence and tracking.

What limitations exist when deleting scheduled goals from an automated workflow?▼

Deleting scheduled goals removes obsolete tasks from the automated workflow. The metadata does not detail specific technical limitations, but deletion stops further execution tracking and clears the goal from the active scheduling list.
