A scheduled task is a saved prompt that a Persona runs on a schedule. Open Scheduled Tasks in the left sidebar to see every task, whichever Persona runs it. Schedules run while webAI is open and use this device’s local time. For a short walkthrough, see Create a scheduled task.

Ask for one in Chat

Say what you want and when, such as “remind me every morning”. Then click Open Scheduled tasks on the reply.

Create one yourself

Click New Task, write the prompt, pick a Persona, and choose when it runs.

Pause or edit one

Use the toggle on a task, or open its options for Edit, Run now, and Delete.

Filter by Persona

Use All personas to see the tasks one Persona is on.

​
Open Scheduled Tasks

Click Scheduled Tasks in the left sidebar. The page has two tabs, Upcoming and History.
  • Search by task name, prompt, or Persona.
  • Open All tasks and choose Active or Paused.
  • Open All personas and choose a Persona to see only its tasks.
Each task shows its name, its schedule (for example, Weekly on Mon at 9:00 AM), Next run, the Persona that runs it, and its status.
To see the tasks for one Persona from that Persona, open Personas, click the Persona, then click Scheduled in its sidebar. See Schedule a task.

​
Give the Persona tools and skills first

A task can use only the tools and skills that Persona already has. Set those up on the Persona before you create the task.
  • Tools: Open the Persona’s settings and turn on the tools you want it to use, such as web search. These are the same tools you pick under Tools it may use in Create a Persona.
  • Skills: Open the Persona, open Skills in its sidebar, and click Add more. See Skills.

​
Create a task from chat

1

Ask for it

In Chat, say what you want done and when. For example, “Tell me a short positive story every Monday at 9 AM.” The task is created for the Persona that answers.
2

Allow the tool

The first time, Allow tool action? opens and shows the task details. Click Allow to create it, or Deny to cancel. After you allow it once, webAI does not ask again for later tasks.
3

Open your tasks

The reply confirms when the task runs. Click Open Scheduled tasks to go to the Scheduled Tasks page.

​
Create a task

1

Open the form

On Scheduled Tasks, click New Task. Or open a Persona, click Scheduled, then Schedule task. Create scheduled task opens.
2

Name it and write the prompt

Fill in Name and Prompt.
3

Pick a Persona

When you start from New Task, choose a Persona. It starts on Auto, which decides the tools when the task runs. When you start from a Persona’s Scheduled place, the task uses that Persona.
4

Check what the task can do

What this task can do shows what the Persona you picked can use on each run.
  • Tools you can ask for lists that Persona’s tools. If it has none, runs can use what the Persona knows and the Always available tools: Weather, Location, Date & time, and System Info.
  • Skill to apply on every run lets you pick one of that Persona’s skills, or No skill to run the prompt as written.
Runs can happen while you are away, so they are meant to read and summarize, not to send messages or change data.
5

Choose when it runs

Under Schedule, set Repeats:
  • Once: Pick a date and time under Runs at.
  • Every N minutes: Pick an interval under Every: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 minutes. Runs land on clock-aligned increments while webAI is open.
  • Daily: Pick a time under Runs at.
  • Weekly: Pick a time under Runs at, then pick at least one day from Sun to Sat.
6

Create it

Click Create task. The task appears under Upcoming with its next run.
Keep webAI open when a task is due. Tasks do not run while webAI is closed.
When a run uses web search or another connected tool, that work can be sent off your device. See the Privacy Policy.

​
Pause or edit a task

On Scheduled Tasks, each task has a toggle, Run now, and an options menu.
  • Pause or Resume: Click the toggle. A paused task shows Paused and does not run until you resume it.
  • Run now: Click the play icon to run the task right away.
  • Edit: Open the options and click Edit to change the task.
  • Delete: Open the options and click Delete.
A Persona’s Scheduled place also has the pause toggle for each of its tasks.

​
Use the result

When a task runs, webAI opens a chat named Scheduled: plus the task name. Later runs reuse that chat. Open it from Recents on that Persona’s sidebar.
