Recurring Tasks allow your assistant to automatically perform actions, research, monitoring, and reporting based on a schedule or event trigger.
Instead of manually asking Skej to perform the same task repeatedly, you can create a recurring task that runs automatically whenever specified conditions are met.
All tasks consume credits each time they run, so only enable tasks that you are actively using. Ensure that the frequency matches your needs. A recurring task running every hour will use credits quickly vs once a week.
How Recurring Tasks Work
Every recurring task consists of two parts:
A trigger — when the task should run.
Instructions — what Skej should do when the task runs.
For example:
Trigger: Every weekday at 6:00 AM
Instructions: Review my calendar, prepare a daily agenda, and provide background information on each meeting.
When the trigger occurs, Skej automatically executes the task and delivers the results.
Trigger Types
Time-Based Triggers
Time-based triggers run on a schedule. Examples:
Every weekday at 6:00 AM

First business day of each month
Common use cases include:

Event-Based Triggers
Event-based triggers run when a specific event occurs. Examples:

When a meeting is added to your calendar
Before customer demos
Before interviews
Common use cases include:
Meeting preparation
Research briefs
Attendee summaries
Interview preparation

Creating Custom Recurring Tasks
You can create your own recurring tasks using natural language. Simply describe:
When the task should run
What information Skej should review
What actions Skej should perform
What output you want to receive
Example: Meeting Preparation
Trigger: 30 minutes before every meeting
Instructions: Only run for meetings with external contacts. Research attendees, summarize recent interactions, identify important background information, and provide a meeting briefing.
Example: Custom Daily Agenda
Trigger: Every weekday at 7:00 AM
Instructions: Review my calendar, local weather, identify travel requirements, highlight external meetings, and provide preparation notes for each meeting.
Writing Effective Task Instructions
Recurring tasks are configured using natural language. For best results:
Be specific about when the task should run (i.e. weekdays only)
Specify which calendars to review
Specify which email accounts or inboxes to check
Describe the desired output
The more detailed the instructions, the better Skej can execute the task.
Improving Tasks Over Time
Recurring tasks can be modified at any time. As tasks run, Skej learns from your feedback and may create memories to improve future executions.
You can update a task by:
Editing the task configuration
Changing the trigger
Updating the instructions
Adding additional context or preferences
You can also chat directly with your assistant and ask it to improve a specific recurring task. Examples:
"Make my daily agenda more concise."
"Include recent emails in my meeting prep."
"Add customer news to my pre-meeting briefing."
"Flag travel conflicts in my Sunday planning task."
Your assistant will apply those changes to future task executions.
