What are Tasks?
Tasks are scheduled AI jobs that ZeroTwo runs automatically on your behalf. Instead of manually prompting ZeroTwo every morning for a news briefing or every Friday for a project summary, you describe the work once, set a schedule, and ZeroTwo handles it from there. Results land in your chat history as new conversations — ready for you to read whenever you open ZeroTwo.How Tasks Work
Describe the task
Write a prompt describing exactly what you want ZeroTwo to do — the same way you’d write a chat message, but written for future automated execution.
Set a schedule
Choose a one-time date and time, or set a recurring schedule (daily, weekly, or custom cron). ZeroTwo runs the task at the time you specify in your configured timezone.
ZeroTwo runs it automatically
At the scheduled time, ZeroTwo executes your task prompt — including any file attachments or connected app access you’ve configured. You do not need to be logged in.
What Tasks Are Good For
Tasks shine for work that repeats on a predictable schedule or needs to happen at a specific time without manual intervention.| Use case | Example task |
|---|---|
| Morning briefings | ”Search for the top 5 AI news stories from the last 24 hours and write a concise summary with key takeaways.” |
| Weekly reports | ”Summarize this week’s activity across my GitHub repos and list any open issues created this week.” |
| Daily planning | ”Check my Google Calendar and list today’s meetings with 2–3 prep questions for each.” |
| Recurring research | ”Find the latest news about [company] and write a short competitive intelligence brief.” |
| Automated summaries | ”Summarize any new emails in my inbox from the past 24 hours by sender and topic.” |
| Reminders with AI context | ”It’s Monday — remind me of my top priorities and suggest a time-blocking schedule for the week.” |
The /tasks Page
Navigate to the Tasks page from the topbar or go directly to/tasks to manage all your scheduled tasks. The page organizes every task you’ve created by status.
Task states:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Upcoming | Scheduled and waiting to run at the next trigger time |
| Running | Currently executing right now |
| Completed | Has finished running (one-time tasks stay here after finishing) |
| Paused | Temporarily disabled — won’t run until you resume it |
Attaching Files and Connectors
Tasks become significantly more powerful when you attach data sources:- Files from your library — attach documents, CSVs, or code files for ZeroTwo to reference each time the task runs
- Connectors — give the task access to your connected apps so it can read real data (Google Calendar, GitHub, Gmail, Notion, and more)
