It wakes up by itself
You don’t need to be online, in the Console, or even awake. When a scheduled task comes due — or a trigger event arrives — the platform wakes your assistant automatically and the work begins. If your assistant happens to be mid-conversation with you already, the task simply runs alongside without interrupting.It works quietly
Tasks run silently by default. Your assistant doesn’t announce “starting your task now” or narrate its progress — it just does the work, and gets in touch when there’s something worth saying:- the result, delivered on the channel the task specifies (email, text, WhatsApp, chat — your call), or
- a question, if it genuinely can’t proceed without you.
It gets sharper with repetition
For recurring work, your assistant doesn’t start from a blank page each time. Once a routine has run successfully a few times, the platform can lock in the proven approach so future runs follow the same reliable steps — your Friday recap looks and behaves consistently, week after week. This is part of the broader learning system.Timing details worth knowing
- Timezone — recurring times like “every morning at 8” follow your assistant’s timezone unless the task says otherwise.
- Recurring tasks reschedule themselves — when a run finishes, the next occurrence is queued automatically.
- Stale tasks don’t misfire — if you cancel or edit a task before it fires, the old schedule is quietly dropped; you won’t get a ghost run.
When a run fails
If something goes wrong mid-run, the run is marked Failed in the task’s history with the error recorded — failures are visible, not swallowed. Ask your assistant what happened and it can tell you, fix the problem, or rerun the work.What tasks cost
A task run consumes credits exactly like the same work would in a live conversation — there’s no separate task fee, and setting up tasks is free. Two consequences:- Spending caps apply. A 3am run counts against the same monthly caps as daytime chat. If a cap is hit, the run is blocked rather than billed past the limit.
- No credits, no run. If your balance is empty, tasks pause until you top up — your assistant will tell you if that happens rather than failing silently.
