Cron Jobs

Schedule your agent to work autonomously

Tell your agent what to do and when — it sets up a recurring job and runs it without any user interaction. Each run is a full agent turn with access to your workspace, files, and connections.

Setting up a cron job

Just describe the schedule in natural language:

Every weekday at 8am, pull yesterday's revenue from Stripe, generate a summary, and email it to the team.

or

Every 15 minutes, check if there are new sign-ups in our database and post them to the #growth Slack channel.

The agent translates this to a cron schedule and sets it up. You never need to write cron expressions.

What happens on each run

Each scheduled job gets its own dedicated chat thread (named "Scheduled: {job name}") that appears alongside your regular chats. When a job fires:

  • The agent runs with full access to your workspace, files, and connections — the same as if you had typed the message yourself
  • Context accumulates across runs — the agent remembers what it did last time, can compare against previous results, and builds up a history of its work
  • Results can be emailed, posted to Slack, saved to files, or published to a live dashboard

Example use cases

Daily reports

Pull data from your warehouse every morning, generate a formatted report, and email it to stakeholders

Monitoring & alerts

Check metrics hourly, flag anomalies, and page your team when something looks off

Data syncing

Keep two systems in sync — new Stripe customers automatically become HubSpot contacts every 15 minutes

Content generation

Generate weekly newsletter drafts, daily social media posts, or morning news roundups on a schedule

Managing cron jobs

Everything is managed through chat. Ask the agent:

  • "List my scheduled jobs" — see all active cron jobs
  • "Update the daily report to run at 9am instead" — modify a schedule or prompt
  • "Delete the Stripe sync job" — remove a scheduled job
  • "Run the daily report now" — trigger a job immediately without waiting for the next scheduled time
