Tasks run on a schedule or integration trigger, use the same tools as chat, and can deliver results through any connected messaging platform.
Open Tasks in the UI and fill in:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Human-readable label |
| Cron | Five-field schedule expression |
| Prompt | Self-contained instruction for the future run |
| Enabled | Active or paused |
| Model | Optional per-task model override |
┌───── minute (0–59)

│ │ ┌─── day of month (1–31)
│ │ │ ┌── month (1–12)
│ │ │ │ ┌─ day of week (0–7, both 0 and 7 = Sunday)

Prompts run unattended. Be specific about what to check and when to notify — tasks that always send a message become noise, tasks that only notify on a condition are useful.
Daily news digest
Search Hacker News for the top 5 stories today. Send me a brief summary of each via Telegram, including the title and link.
Price monitor
Check the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum on CoinGecko. If either has changed more than 5% in the last 24 hours, send me a Telegram message with the current prices and percentage change. If there are no significant changes, do nothing.
Server health check
Run `df -h` and `free -m`. If disk usage on any partition is above 85% or available memory is below 500MB, send me a Telegram alert with the details. Otherwise do nothing.
Weekly email digest
Search my Gmail for unread emails from the last 7 days. Group them by sender domain and summarize the main topics. Send the summary to my Telegram.
Automation can use everything available in chat:
| Capability | Examples |
|---|---|
| Browser | Navigate, extract content, screenshot, evaluate JavaScript |
| CLI | Shell commands in a persistent terminal |
| Files | Read, write, search host files |
| Memory | Store and retrieve long-term facts |
| Messaging | Send results through any connected platform |
| MCP | Tools from configured remote MCP servers |
| Integrations | Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Slack, and other OAuth tools |
| Recordings | Search and read transcripts |
| Health | Read synced Android Health Connect metrics |
| Android | Control an emulator or device |
| Subagents | Spawn parallel helpers inside a longer run |
| Outputs | Artifacts, images, Mermaid graphs, markdown tables |
Prefer official integrations and MCP tools over browser automation when both can do the job — they are more reliable and easier to audit.
NeoAgent runs on your server and can touch real files, messaging surfaces, connected accounts, and browser sessions. Keep prompts narrow.
