Short answer
Scheduled Tasks 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 against the selected Index and emails you the results.
Full explanation
Scheduled Tasks automate recurring AI work so you don’t have to remember to run it manually. Tasks live at the Index level, so each task uses the documents and Semantic Map from the Index you select.
Access Scheduled Tasks
From the left toolbar, click Index Management.
In the Index Management view, select Scheduled Tasks to open the scheduling dashboard.
Use the Index picker at the top to choose which Index the task will run from.
Create a task
Click Add Task.
Task Name: Give your task a clear, action-oriented name (e.g., “Daily client news brief”).
Frequency: Choose Once, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
Time: Set the time of day for the task to run.
Instructions: Enter the prompt AskTuring should follow. You can reference your Index content directly (e.g., “Summarize the latest documents in the Contracts folder and flag risks”).
Click Create Task.
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.
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 Index-Only mode environment (AskTuring is SOC 2 certified).
Tips
Be specific in your instructions—include scope (Folder names), timeframe, and output format.
Start with “Test” to preview and refine results before activating a schedule.
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.
