Scheduled tasks let you set up recurring agent jobs that run automatically. Think of them as cron jobs powered by AI.
How it works
- Describe what you want (“Summarize my GitHub PRs every morning”)
- Set the schedule (daily, hourly, custom cron)
- Ori runs the task on schedule — even when minimized to the tray
- Results appear on your Home screen
Creating a task
You can create scheduled tasks in two ways:
From conversation
Just tell Ori what you want:
Every weekday at 9am, search Hacker News for AI developments and give me a 5-bullet summary
From the Home screen
The Scheduled Tasks section on your Home screen lets you:
- Create new schedules with a form
- Set the prompt, frequency, and timing
- Enable/disable individual schedules
- View past results
Example schedules
| Schedule | What it does |
|---|
| ”Every morning at 8am, tell me about the weather and my calendar” | Daily briefing combining web search and calendar data |
| ”Every 2 hours, check if example.com is responding” | Uptime monitoring with alerts |
| ”Every Friday at 5pm, summarize this week’s Git commits” | Weekly development digest |
| ”Every day at 9am, search for news about my competitors” | Competitive intelligence on autopilot |
Schedule options
| Field | Description | Examples |
|---|
| Prompt | What Ori should do each run | ”Summarize top HN stories” |
| Frequency | How often to run | Every hour, daily, weekly, custom |
| Time | When to run (for daily/weekly) | 9:00 AM, 5:00 PM |
| Days | Which days (for weekly) | Mon-Fri, weekends only |
Viewing results
Scheduled task results appear as briefing cards on your Home screen. Each card shows:
- The task name and schedule
- When it last ran
- The AI-generated result
- Option to run it manually
Scheduled tasks use the same tools as regular conversations — web search, file reading, connectors, and more. Anything you can ask Ori in a chat, you can schedule.
Managing schedules
Open your Home screen to see all active schedules. From there you can:
- Pause/resume — Toggle schedules on and off
- Edit — Change the prompt, timing, or frequency
- Delete — Remove schedules you no longer need
- Run now — Trigger a schedule immediately
