What is a scheduled artificial intelligence agent routine?
Definition
A scheduled artificial intelligence agent routine replays a defined task without a new manual prompt for every run. Examples include periodic monitoring, weekly summaries or temporary polling while waiting for a response.
A safe routine has a narrow scope, bounded frequency, durable progress and clear stop conditions. It should preserve prior state on failures and avoid continuing indefinitely after the monitored outcome has occurred.
