Routines
Schedule AI tasks that run on their own
Say what and when. The work is waiting for you.
A routine is work you hand Grape AI or one of your agents to do on its own, once or every day, week or month, at the time you set. It runs on Grape servers even while your phone and laptop are off, saves each run as a chat and writes notes as it goes. On the Pro plan.
Once on a date, every day, every week on the days you pick, or every month
Runs on Grape servers, so it runs with your phone and laptop off
Grape AI does it with all your notes and the web, or hand it to one of your agents
Make one in Settings, or ask in any chat: every weekday at 8, find the AI news
Every run is a chat with the steps it took, and the notes it wrote are in your library
Run now tries the brief straight away, and a switch pauses a routine without deleting it
On your schedule
Once on a date, daily, weekly on the days you pick or monthly on a day of the month, on the clock of the device you set it on.
Your devices can be off
It runs on Grape servers with Grape AI, so the 8 AM note is written whether the laptop is open or not.
Hand it to an agent
Pick one of your agents and the run follows its instructions and reads the folders and files it knows first.
Ask for it in the chat
Say every Friday at 5, sum up my week, and the routine is set. Ask which routines it has, or tell it to stop one.
Every run is a chat
The history shows how each run went and the notes it wrote. Open one to see its steps and carry on from there.
Hear when it is done
Switch on routine notifications, and a tap on one opens the run on your phone or your laptop.
Examples
Six Routines to Start With
Write each one as a full brief, the way you would leave a note for someone working while you are away. A run works alone and cannot ask you anything, so say what to look at, what to write and where to put it.

What Else Grape Does
Every part of the app is built around the same idea: keep what you write, and hand it back when you need it.
Your Notes Are Worth More Than You Are Getting Out of Them
