AI Scheduled Task Automation
The most powerful automation is the kind that runs without you. Fazm lets you schedule any task to run on a loop - reviewing PRs overnight, triaging error logs every 15 minutes, or preparing your morning briefing before you wake up.
Recurring Tasks Drain Your Best Hours
Every team has tasks that need to happen regularly but do not require creative thinking. Checking error logs. Reviewing pull requests. Compiling a daily revenue summary. Scanning competitor websites for pricing changes. These are repetitive, time-consuming, and perfectly suited for automation - but traditional tools like cron jobs and shell scripts can only handle simple, static workflows.
What happens when the error log format changes? When the competitor redesigns their pricing page? When a PR requires context from a Slack thread to review properly? Static scripts break. You end up maintaining automation that needs constant babysitting, which defeats the point.
Fazm solves this by bringing AI intelligence to scheduled tasks. Instead of running a fixed script, Fazm uses an AI agent that can see your screen, navigate dynamic websites, interpret changing content, and make intelligent decisions. It adapts to whatever it encounters, just like a human assistant would - except it never forgets to run and never gets bored.

How Scheduled Tasks Work in Fazm
Define the task in plain language
Tell Fazm what you want done. For example: "Review all open PRs in the fazm-website repo, leave comments on issues, and create fix commits for anything straightforward."
Set the frequency
Specify how often the task should run. Say "every 2 hours," "weekdays at 7am," "every 15 minutes during business hours," or any interval that makes sense for the task.
Configure output and alerts
Tell Fazm where to send results - Slack, email, a text file, or the Fazm dashboard. You can also set up alerts for specific conditions, like 'notify me immediately if any critical errors appear.'
Fazm runs autonomously
Fazm executes the task on schedule. It opens the relevant apps and websites, performs the work, logs every action, and delivers results to your specified destination. If something unexpected happens, it adapts intelligently.
Review and adjust
Check results when convenient. Adjust the task description, frequency, or output format anytime with a voice command. Fazm remembers your changes for all future runs.
Why Fazm Beats Traditional Cron Jobs
AI-powered adaptability
Fazm navigates dynamic websites and changing interfaces. When a dashboard redesign moves a button, Fazm adapts. A cron script breaks.
No coding required
Define tasks in plain English. No shell scripts, no YAML configs, no debugging regex. Just describe what you want and how often.
Visual context
Fazm sees your screen and understands visual context. It can read charts, interpret error messages, and navigate complex UIs that APIs do not expose.
Cross-app workflows
A single scheduled task can span multiple apps - check GitHub, post to Slack, update a spreadsheet, and send an email all in one run.
Intelligent error handling
When something goes wrong, Fazm does not just fail silently. It tries alternative approaches, logs what happened, and alerts you if it cannot resolve the issue.
Easy to modify
Changing a scheduled task is as simple as saying 'also check the staging environment' or 'run it every hour instead of every two hours.'
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of tasks can Fazm run on a schedule?
Anything Fazm can do on demand, it can do on a schedule. PR reviews, error monitoring, morning briefings, revenue reports, competitor research, flight price tracking, deployment checks, invoice filing, and more.
How is this different from cron jobs?
Cron jobs run static scripts. Fazm uses AI to interact with websites and apps dynamically - it navigates changing interfaces, interprets content, and makes decisions based on what it finds. A cron job breaks when a website changes. Fazm adapts.
Does my Mac need to be on?
Yes. Fazm controls your desktop directly, so your Mac needs to be powered on and awake during scheduled task windows. You can configure energy settings to prevent sleep during those times.
Where do I see the results?
Fazm logs every action during a scheduled run. You can review results in the Fazm dashboard, receive notifications, or have Fazm post summaries to Slack, email, or any destination you choose.
How granular can the schedule be?
You can run tasks every N minutes, every N hours, at specific times, on specific days, or on custom intervals. Examples: every 15 minutes, weekdays at 7am, every 2 hours overnight, first Monday of each month.
