Tasks

Give it a goal, not a prompt

Describe the outcome. The AI plans the steps, does the research, writes the result and delivers it where you asked — once, or every week, with this tab closed. You approve the plan and the budget before anything runs.

From a sentence to a finished deliverable

A task is the difference between an AI that tells you what you could do and one that does it.

Describe the outcome In plain words, plus anything it needs: the pages to read, the figures to work from, a file to start from. Or begin from one of the 32 templates and edit it.
Review the plan You see the steps it intends to take, the tools it will use, the schedule and the credit budget — before it starts. Edit any step, or cap the budget lower.
It works in the background Searching, reading pages, writing, building documents. You can close the tab, close the laptop, and it carries on server-side.
The result arrives In your chat, your inbox, as a notification, as a link, or as a reviewed email to a client. The run timeline shows every step, its duration and its cost.

Three examples, end to end

“Every Monday at nine, check these three pricing pages and email me what changed.”
Fetches each page, compares against last week, and emails a comparison table with a note on anything that moved. Silent when nothing changed — so the email means something when it arrives.
“Brief me before my meetings each morning.”
Researches who you are meeting, then hands you a one-page brief at 07:30: what they want, three questions to ask, the likely objections with answers, and your opening line. What it could not find is stated rather than filled in.
“Turn this month's notes into a client report and send it from my domain.”
Writes the report, builds it as a PDF, then holds it for your review before any client sees it — with your unsubscribe link and compliance footer already in place.

Three ways a task can think

How much freedom the AI gets is your choice, and it is visible on every task.

📐

Fixed

You write the steps; it follows them in order, passing each result into the next. Predictable and the cheapest to run. Best for a job you already know how to do.

🗺️

Planned

It drafts a plan from your goal, you approve or edit it, then it executes exactly that. The middle ground, and the right default for most recurring work.

🧭

Agent

It decides the steps as it goes, adapting to what it finds — following a lead, dropping a dead end. Best for research, and bounded by your step, time and credit limits.

🧰

Tools a step can use: web search, fetching a specific page, writing, generating a Word, Excel, PowerPoint or PDF file, creating images, and transforming an earlier step's output. You pick which tools a task is allowed — a task with no web access cannot quietly go and get some.

All 32 starter templates

Every one is editable — the template sets the goal, the inputs, the tools, the schedule and the delivery, and you change any of it. The cost column is the honest rough figure shown in the app before you run it.

Templates are a starting point, not the ceiling — a task can be written from scratch for anything you can describe. And for one-off jobs with a known shape, a module is usually quicker.

Schedules that behave themselves

The point of a scheduled task is that you stop thinking about it. That only works if it is quiet when there is nothing to say.

🕘

Any cadence, your timezone

Hourly, daily, every N days, weekly on the days you pick, or monthly on a date. Set your timezone once and every task follows it, including through the clock changes.

🔇

Quiet when nothing changed

Watch-style tasks are written to say “nothing changed” in one line rather than manufacturing an update — and a page-change watcher does not run the AI at all until the page moves.

🌙

Quiet hours

Deliveries that would reach you overnight wait until the morning, unless you mark a task as urgent. Your daily brief lands when you actually read it.

⛔

It stops rather than overspends

Each firing re-checks your plan, your feature access and your balance. A lapsed plan or an empty balance pauses the schedule and tells you, instead of failing silently every morning.

Five places a result can land

Pick as many as you like per task. A weekly report can go to your chat and your inbox and a client, with the client copy held for review.

ChannelWhat happens
💬 ChatArrives as a message in a conversation — a new one, or the same one each time so a weekly task builds a thread you can scroll back through.
📧 Email to meThe full result in your inbox, formatted to be readable on a phone, with any generated file attached or linked.
🔔 NotificationA push notification with the headline, so you know it ran without opening anything. Snooze or mark it done from where it lands.
🔗 Share linkAn expiring read-only link — you choose how many days — for sending a result to someone without an account.
👥 Email to clientsSent to contacts you have added, from your own domain, with unsubscribe and compliance footers handled. Always held for your review first.

What stops it doing something you did not want

Autonomy is only useful if the limits are real. These are not preferences buried in a settings page — they are enforced on every run.

💰

A hard credit budget

Every task carries a per-run budget it cannot exceed. Reaching it stops the run and tells you where it got to, rather than continuing and billing you for it.

⏱️

Step and time ceilings

A maximum number of steps and minutes per run, so an agent that finds an endless trail of leads still finishes. Your plan sets the ceiling; you can set it lower.

✋

Approval where it matters

Nothing that reaches another person is automatic. Client emails are reviewed by you, and a task built from a chat request shows a confirmation card with the schedule and the cost before it exists at all.

📜

A run log you can read

Each run keeps every step, its duration, its tools, its cost and its output — including the failures. You can re-run, edit, pause or delete a task at any point.

You can just ask in chat

The Tasks page is the full control panel. Most tasks start as a sentence in an ordinary conversation.

“Remind me tomorrow at 10 to call the bank.”
A reminder, delivered as a notification, an email or a chat message — whichever you asked for. Reminders and calendar entries are free; only work that runs the AI uses credits.
“I have a meeting with ABC Company on Thursday at 11 — brief me beforehand.”
The meeting goes in your agenda, clashes get flagged, the private link adds it to Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar, and a prep note arrives half an hour before.
“Tell me when their changelog changes.”
A watcher that checks on a schedule and speaks up only when the page actually moved — with a summary of what is new.
✅

Every one of those appears first as a card: what it is, when it happens, what it costs. Confirm, edit or cancel. Something a web page or a document asked for can never act on its own.

Questions about Tasks

What is a background task?

A task is a goal rather than a prompt. You describe the outcome you want — research these three competitors and tell me what changed — and the AI plans the steps, does the work in the background with the tab closed, and delivers the finished result where you asked for it.

How is a task different from a chat message?

A chat message is answered immediately, in one turn, while you wait. A task can take several steps and several minutes, can use tools such as web search, page fetching and document generation between steps, can repeat on a schedule, and delivers to email or a notification rather than only to the screen you are looking at.

Can tasks run on a schedule?

Yes. Hourly, daily, every few days, weekly on chosen days, or monthly on a date, at a time in your own timezone. 26 of the 32 starter templates arrive with a sensible schedule already set, which you can change or remove.

Where does the result go?

Any combination of: a message in your chat, an email to yourself, a push notification, an expiring share link, or an email to clients from your contacts. Anything that would email another person is held for your review first — that is not a setting you can switch off by accident.

What does a task cost?

Only the AI work inside it. Each template shows an honest rough figure per run before you start it, and every task carries a credit budget it cannot exceed. Scheduling itself, and a run that finds nothing to report, cost nothing beyond the check.

Can I see what it did?

Every run keeps its timeline: each step, how long it took, which tools it used, what it cost, and the output it produced. A failed step says what failed rather than silently producing less.

Can I ask for a task in chat instead?

Yes. Say “every Monday check their pricing and email me what changed” in an ordinary conversation and the assistant builds the task, then shows you a card with the schedule, the delivery and the budget. Nothing is created or spent until you confirm it.

Set one up and forget about it

Start from a template, change the schedule, pick where it should land. The second one takes a minute.
