Create an automation

Updated October 21, 2026

Set up a recurring task so an agent runs it on your schedule — no manual work required.

  1. Go to Agents, open the agent, and find Routines.
  2. Click + New.
  3. Write the task prompt — describe what the agent should do each time it runs.
  4. Set a schedule: daily, weekly, or enter a custom cron expression for precise timing.
  5. Choose the agent and model to use.
  6. Save the automation.

Where: on the web and on the Mac, Agents › the agent's details › Routines.

The automation runs at the scheduled time and creates a new chat. Results appear in your workspace chat list like any other chat.

Good to know: you can pause or delete an automation at any time from the same Routines section of the agent's details. Automations count toward your workspace usage. Related: What are automations?.
