Schedule tasks

Scheduled tasks let you run a prompt automatically at a future date or on a recurring schedule. Work picks up the prompt at the scheduled time, executes it like any other task, and notifies you when the result is ready.

Use them for anything you repeat: a weekly competitive watch, a daily inbox triage, a Monday morning roll-up of unread emails and Slack messages, or a one-off reminder to draft a follow-up next Tuesday.

Scheduled tasks shine when the same question comes back on a regular cadence:

• Weekly digest: every Monday morning, summarize your unread emails and Slack messages from the past week.
• Release summary: every Friday, generate a weekly release summary from Linear, Notion, and Slack.
• Meeting briefing: daily at 9am, prepare a briefing for your first meeting of the day.
• Tech and competitive watch: every Monday, summarize the past week's announcements from a list of competitors.
• One-off reminders: a single prompt scheduled for next Tuesday to draft a follow-up email referencing today's notes.

You can create a scheduled task in two ways.

1. In the sidebar, click Scheduled.
2. Click New Task.
3. Write the prompt you want Work to run.
4. Click Schedule and pick a frequency (see below).
5. Set the time of day.
6. Click Schedule to confirm, or Cancel to discard.

A confirmation card summarizes the schedule in plain language (for example, "Every Monday at 9

You can also ask Work to schedule the current prompt directly in conversation. For example:

• Schedule this to run every Monday at 9am.
• Run this every weekday morning.
• Remind me with this prompt next Tuesday at 14:00.

Work proposes a schedule, you confirm, and the task is added to your Tasks page.

The scheduled task uses the same Work surface as a manual prompt: Skills, Connectors, Web search, Libraries, and Projects are all available natively. You may also see suggested schedules based on your recent conversations and connected tools.

Five frequencies are available:

A scheduled task runs unattended, so think about approvals upfront.

When the prompt triggers a sensitive Connector action (sending an email, posting a message, modifying a file), Work normally asks for confirmation. To let a scheduled task complete without you in front of the screen, pre-authorize the relevant actions with Always allow for that Connector. See Safety and approvals and Per-function Connector permissions.

When a scheduled task finishes, the result appears in the sidebar with an unread dot, just like any other conversation. Open it to:

• Review the output.
• Ask follow-up questions.
• Jump to the associated chat if you want to refine the prompt for the next run.

From the Scheduled page, you can change a scheduled task at any time:

• Edit: update the prompt, frequency, or next run date.
• Pause: stop future runs without losing the schedule. Resume it later.
• Delete: remove the schedule permanently. Past results stay in the conversation history.

The number of scheduled tasks you can create at the same time depends on your plan. If you hit the limit, pause or delete an existing task to free a slot, or upgrade your plan. See pricing for the current numbers.
