# Scheduled Tasks

> Set an agent task to run on a repeat, instead of triggering it yourself every time.

**Scheduled** *(Beta)*, in the sidebar, turns a one-off agent task into a recurring job.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Scheduled">
    Click **Scheduled** in the sidebar. It tracks **Active**, **Pending**, and **Total** job counts, and lists your scheduled agents below.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Start from a template, or from scratch">
    Click **New schedule** to open a template gallery — over 24 real, named templates (Annual Vision Deck, Bedtime Wind-Down Audio, Daily Affirmation Audio, Daily Habit Tracker Prompt, and more), filterable by **Analysis**, **Automation**, **Communication**, and **Information**. Each template shows its own default schedule (e.g. "Daily at 7:00 AM"). Click **Start from scratch** if none fit.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the schedule">
    Fill in a **Name** and **Task description**, then set the **Trigger** — click it to open **Repeat** options (Run once, Daily, Daily on weekdays, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Annually, or Custom) and a time picker. No raw cron syntax is exposed.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick an output format and destination">
    Choose an **Output format** — **Text** (a simple plain-text message), **Artifacts** (attaches relevant files, e.g. a Document), or **Audio** (delivers the message as speech) — and an **Output destination**: the default in-Computer chat, a Slack channel, a Slack DM, or Gmail.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Templates are a faster starting point than they look — even if the exact use case doesn't match yours, copying a template's trigger/output setup and swapping the task description is quicker than configuring everything from scratch.
