Scheduled, Infinite & Timed Tasks
A standard task runs once and stops when it has an answer. For work that should repeat, or keep going for a long time, open the task parameters menu next to Tools and Sources in the composer and pick a schedule.
| Type | What it does | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled task | Runs again on a cron schedule, in your chosen timezone. Each run continues the same conversation. | Daily reports, weekly checks, monitoring a page or feed |
| Infinite task | Keeps looping: after each run it starts the next one automatically until you stop it. | Ongoing background jobs, long investigations |
| Timed task | Loops like an infinite task, but stops after the number of minutes you set. | "Work on this for two hours" |
Scheduled tasks
Enter a standard 5-field cron expression and a timezone. For example:
| Cron | Runs |
|---|---|
0 9 * * * | Every day at 09:00 |
0 9 * * 1 | Every Monday at 09:00 |
*/30 * * * * | Every 30 minutes |
Waiting
Infinite and timed tasks can call a wait tool to pause until something changes, for example until a build finishes. Turn off Allow waiting under Edit parameters if the agent should keep working instead.
Limits and results
- Edit parameters also sets a maximum number of steps and a time limit for each run.
- Your admin can cap how many recurring tasks each project and workspace can have active.
- Use Notifications or a connector such as Telegram to get results without keeping Meowbert open.
- To stop a recurring task, open it and choose Clear schedule, or cancel it from the task's menu.
