Use routines

Routines let Aside run recurring work without starting each task by hand.

​
Routine types

TypeBehavior
Cron routineStarts a new task on a schedule.
Heartbeat routineWakes an existing chat and continues it.
Use a cron routine for standalone repeat work, such as a weekly summary. Use a heartbeat routine when the same chat should continue later with new context. Aside skips overlapping routine runs and pauses routines when their target chat is unavailable.

​
Manage routines

Open Agent Settings > Routines. From the routine list, you can:
  • Create a routine
  • Edit instructions or schedule

Free plan users can keep up to 3 active routines. Pro users can create unlimited active routines.
