Scheduled Tasks

Scheduled tasks let Alfrada run repeatable workflows on autopilot.

What They Are Good For

• daily monitoring
• recurring market scans
• social listening
• weekly executive digests
• recurring competitor updates

What A Good Scheduled Task Includes

• a clear objective
• explicit data sources or tools
• a cadence such as daily, weekly, monthly, or custom
• a destination format for the result

Best Practices

• keep each scheduled task focused on one output
• tell Alfrada what should count as success
• test the workflow once before relying on the schedule
• review failures and tighten prompts when needed

Scheduled task pattern

Set up a recurring task that runs every weekday at 7am. Check [sources], look for [signals], and return [format]. If nothing material changed, say that clearly instead of forcing a long report.

Scheduled tasks work best when success conditions, cadence, and output format are explicit.

Agent Vs Swarm In Scheduled Work

• use Agent for focused repeatable routines
• use Swarm when the scheduled task needs decomposition, challenge, or QA before final output
