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.

​
How It Works

You can create automations from Settings → Automations.
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 in the background, without needing to open AI Thing or re-enter instructions — perfect for repetitive tasks you perform every day or every week. You stay fully in control, and nothing runs unless you create it.
