Bed of Roses doesn’t need you at the keyboard. Ask it to do something later — or every morning — and it schedules a real agent run that executes with full tool access, then tells you what happened. A scheduled background task finishing and its result arriving in the presence's notifications panel

​
Scheduling

Three kinds of schedule, all in plain language:
  • Once — “at 6pm today, remind me to submit the timesheet.” (One-shot jobs disable themselves after running.)
  • Interval — “every two hours, check whether the deploy finished.”
  • Cron — “every weekday at 9am, summarize my inbox” (full cron expressions with timezone support, for when you’re precise about it).
A scheduled job is either a real agent turn — BOR wakes up and works with every tool it has: connectors, the browser, files, MCP — or a simple reminder that goes straight to your inbox. Apps and shortcut cards BOR builds can schedule jobs too: a habit tracker can nudge you nightly without you ever mentioning cron.

​
The notifications inbox

Results land behind the bell on the presence:
  • The orb badge and a notification chip show unread counts even when the presence is collapsed.
  • Open the panel to read, mark read, or delete; new arrivals can play a sound.
  • Every notification has Continue in chat — one click opens a fresh conversation seeded with that notification, so a morning digest becomes “now draft replies to the two urgent ones” without re-explaining anything. In the panel, a scheduled job’s result reads like a short report: the job’s name, when it ran, the outcome BOR produced, and the Continue in chat button directly beneath it.

​
What to say

  • “Every morning at 8, check the weather and notify me if I need an umbrella.”
  • “Every Friday at 4, pull my GitHub notifications and summarize what needs me.”
  • “In 45 minutes, tell me to take the bread out of the oven.”
  • “Once a day, fetch my RSS feeds and update the digest app.”
  • “What jobs do you have scheduled? Cancel the deploy check.”

​
Per presence

Schedules and inboxes are per presence — your work presence’s 9am digest doesn’t ping your home presence. See Multi-presence.
