Short answer
Automated Prompts let you tell AskTuring what to run (a prompt) and when to run it (once, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly). At the time of your choosing, AskTuring executes the prompt and emails you the results.

Full explanation
Scheduled Tasks automate recurring AI work so you don’t have to remember to run it manually.

  1. Access Scheduled Tasks

    • Click the Actions (💡) button.

    • Select Automated Prompts to open the scheduling dashboard.

    • Use the Index picker at the top to choose which Index the task will run from.

  2. Create a task

    • Click Add Prompt.

    • Target Context: Choose whether to utilize a pcecific project for the automated prompt, a collection, or utilize the AI Worspace, meaning the prompt will not pull from any saved documents.

    • Name: Give your scheduled prompt a clear, action-oriented name (e.g., “Daily client news brief”).

    • Prompt/Query: Enter the prompt AskTuring should follow. You can reference your Project or Collection content directly (e.g., “Summarize the latest documents in the Contracts folder and flag risks”).

    • Model: choose which model the prompt should utilize when run. You can also choose Auto to allow the platform to select the best model for your prompt.

    • Personality: choose a specific personality you would liek you prompt to utlize in the responses.

    • Frequency: Choose Once, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly. Then set the time of day for the task to run.

    • Notifications: you can select what notification the platfrom will send you via email, as needed.

    • Click Create Prompt.

  3. Review results

    • When the task completes, AskTuring emails the results to you at the set time. You’ll also see task cards on the Scheduled Tasks page showing status and next run time.

  4. Manage tasks

    • Each task card has a menu to Edit, Pause/Resume, Test (run now), or Delete.

    • Use the All / Active / Paused filters to quickly find tasks.

Benefits & use cases

  • Keep stakeholders updated without manual effort (e.g., daily summaries, weekly digests).

  • Ensure time-sensitive reviews happen on schedule.

  • Standardize repeatable work across teams while staying within your secure project environment (AskTuring is SOC 2 certified).

Tips

  • Be specific in your instructions—include scope (Folder names, if relevant), timeframe, and output format.

  • One task per outcome: create separate tasks for different audiences or cadences (e.g., “Sales digest (daily)” vs. “Exec summary (weekly)”).

Examples

  • Real estate investment firm: A weekly task analyzes newly uploaded market reports in the “Research” Folder and emails cap-rate trends and notable comps.

  • Manufacturing company: A monthly “Policy change check” task reviews the “Supplier Contracts” Folder and highlights clauses that have changed since last month.

  • Financial services: A daily “Client watchlist brief” task summarizes news and filings for tickers listed in a CSV stored in the Index and emails a short brief at 8:00 AM.

  • Education company: A “Monthly course feedback summary” task compiles student feedback forms and instructor notes to identify top improvement areas across online courses.
