Scheduled tasks overview
Scheduled tasks automate recurring work in Play. Set up a task to run on a schedule, optionally assign it to an AI co-worker, and let it handle the work without manual input.
What tasks can do
Generate reports - “Every Monday at 9am, pull this week’s metrics and post a summary to Slack”
Sync data - “Every day at midnight, refresh our revenue collection from Stripe”
Monitor and alert - “Every hour, check for new support tickets and flag urgent ones”
Run analysis - “Every Friday, analyze the pipeline and identify at-risk deals”
How they work
Each task runs on a cron schedule, such as every Monday at 9am or every day at midnight. When the schedule fires, Play spins up a new session, executes the task, and generates a report.
Tasks can be assigned to a specific AI co-worker, giving them the co-worker’s role, knowledge, and connected tools.
