Put recurring AI work on a schedule

Some tasks are worth repeating: a weekly competitor digest, a monthly summary of a public dataset, a daily check of a pricing page. Scheduled tasks in Menus AI run the same request on a timetable and keep every result for you to review.

Set up a scheduled task

In short

Configure a recurring task from the Scheduled tasks area of the workspace.
Each run keeps its result and files, so you can compare runs over time.
Adjust the schedule or pause it at any time.
Group scheduled work with related conversations in a project.

Good candidates for a schedule

A weekly digest of news about a topic, with links.
A monthly report built from a public dataset.
A recurring comparison of publicly listed prices or features.
A reminder-style summary of what changed in a project folder.

Write the request once, carefully

A scheduled task repeats the same instructions, so make them specific about scope, format and what counts as a change worth reporting.

Example · weekly digest

Every Monday, search for news from the past seven days about EU AI regulation. Summarise the five most significant items in a short Word document with one paragraph and a source link each. If nothing significant happened, say so in one line.

Review and adjust

Open the task to see each run, download its files, and refine the instructions when a run misses the point. Pause the schedule when you no longer need it.

Frequently asked questions

Do scheduled runs use credits?

Yes. Each run uses credits like a normal task; Task mode reserves up to 8 credits and returns what it does not use.

Can I share the results?

Yes. Create a share link for a task when you want to show someone the finished work.
