Adapt can now run queries on your behalf, on a schedule you define, and deliver the results wherever you want them. If you find yourself asking the same question every Monday morning, you can now just stop doing that.
Setting up a scheduled task
Describe the task in plain language — the same way you'd ask it manually:
Every Monday at 9am, summarize last week's closed deals
and post a summary to #sales in Slack.
Every morning at 8am, pull any new critical errors from Sentry
and send me a Slack DM.
On the first of every month, generate a revenue report
and share it as a new chat.
Adapt parses the schedule, confirms the task, and starts running it automatically.
Schedule types
Recurring schedules — Daily, weekly, monthly, or any custom cadence. Adapt supports natural language like "every weekday at 9am" as well as cron expressions for precise control.
One-time tasks — Schedule something to run once at a specific future time:
In 3 hours, check if the deploy finished and summarize any new errors.
Delivery options
Choose where results land:
- Slack DM — Direct message from the Adapt bot
- Slack channel — Post to a specific channel (name the channel in your prompt)
- New chat — Results appear as a new conversation in the Adapt web app
Managing your tasks
Ask Adapt to show your current scheduled tasks:
What recurring tasks do I have running?
Cancel a task with a simple instruction:
Cancel the Monday sales summary.
Or update it:
Change the Monday sales summary to run at 8am instead of 9am.

- Customer health — Weekly rollup of support tickets, usage drops, and churn signals
- Exec reporting — Monthly summary assembled from finance, product, and sales data
Limits
- Minimum interval between recurring executions: 15 minutes
- One-time task window: 60 seconds to 7 days in the future
- Tasks run with the same integration permissions as your account
