Guides › Let AI do tasks for you
EverydaySet up your first AI automation
After this you'll be able to:
- turn a weekly chore into a scheduled AI task
- connect email or calendar with approvals on
- check it's working before you trust it
5 steps
- Pick one boring, repeatable job with a clear finish line.
- Write the instructions like you would for a new assistant.
- Schedule it in the app you already use.
- Read every result for a week. Fix the instructions, not the output.
- Only then connect more apps or let it act.
Connect email and calendar carefully
Connected apps let an agent read your data and sometimes act on it. Keep approvals on, and check which plan you need before you build anything.
Which plan do scheduled tasks and approvals need in each app?
Prompt: weekly inbox summary
Every Friday at 4 pm, look at this week's emails from [sender or label]. List what needs a reply, any dates or deadlines, and draft short replies for me to approve. Don't send anything.
Prompt: price watch
Check [product] on [store website] every morning. Tell me only if the price drops below [amount], with the link.
