automations
Recurring Automations turn AI Thing into a personal operations layer for your day-to-day life — handling routine tasks automatically, on your schedule, using your own model and agents.

​
Create Automations

You can set up automations however you prefer — either naturally, by writing what you want, or manually through settings.

Create Automations Using Natural Language

Just type a message anywhere you use AI Thing that starts with @aithing, followed by what you want it to do automatically.Examples:
This is the fastest and most natural way to create automations — just describe what you want done and when.
If you prefer structure or want more control, you can also build automations manually.Each automation has four parts:
  • Title — A short, descriptive name
  • Instruction — What you want the AI to do
  • Start Time — When it should run
  • Recurrence — Daily, weekly, hourly, or a one-time future run
Automations run entirely in the background, without needing to open AI Thing or repeat instructions.

​
Notifications

When an automation runs, you’ll receive a native macOS notification as soon as it completes. This way you always know when:
  • A summary or report is ready
  • A scheduled reminder was sent
  • A background workflow finished running
