Routines

A routine is work Jarvis does for you on a schedule. Every Monday, send me the churn report. Every weekday, summarise new support tickets. Routines run on Agently's servers, so they keep going when your computer is off.

Routines need a paid plan. Every AppSumo tier and Agently Pro include them. On the Free tier they are saved but stay paused.

Create a routine

  1. Open Routines and choose New routine.
  2. Answer What should this routine do? in a sentence, and choose Continue. Jarvis works out the best setup.
  3. Review the recommendation. Jarvis explains each choice:
    • Schedule, when it runs.
    • Model, which AI model it uses.
    • Runs: Checks first looks for anything new before doing the work and skips the run when there is nothing, or Every time.
    • Approval: Ask before sending makes it wait for you before anything reaches other people.
    • Daily limit: No limit, or a number of credits a day.
    • The cost, shown as about how many credits a day or a run.
  4. Change anything you like, or choose Reset to recommended. Then choose Create routine.

You can also ask Jarvis in a chat to set up a routine.

While it runs

  • Quiet runs are skipped. With Checks first, a run with nothing new is skipped. It uses no credits, sends no notification and doesn't show in the history. The full run still happens at least once a day, on Run now, and after you change the brief.
  • Daily limit. Scheduled runs past the limit are skipped, and you get a notification that the routine reached its daily limit. Run now still runs. You also get a notification if a routine uses much more than expected.
  • Your own API key. If your workspace has its own Anthropic or OpenAI key, routines run on it and use no credits. See Credits and your own API key.
  • Failures. A failed run sends you a notification and appears in Needs you.

Manage a routine

Open a routine to see its Overview and Run history.

  • Run now runs it straight away.
  • Pause schedule stops it without deleting it; Enable schedule starts it again.
  • Ask before external actions is the approval switch. Turn it off only for routines that should run unattended, such as a scheduled post.
  • Only the person who created a routine can change its settings, pause it or run it by hand.

Troubleshooting

  • "Upgrade to a paid plan to turn on routines." Your workspace is on the Free tier. On AppSumo, check that your license is active: see AppSumo: activate your code.
  • A routine didn't run. It may have been skipped because nothing was new, or because it reached its daily limit. Choose Run now to run it anyway.
  • A routine is waiting for me. It is asking before sending. Approve it from the notification or from Needs you.
  • A routine stopped after my credits ran out. Buy credits or add your own API key. See Credits and your own API key.
