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](/features/multi-presence).
