The SecXChat AI assistant has learned a new trick: it can work on a schedule. Instead of asking it something every time, you can now set a task once — tell it what to do and when — and the assistant runs it at that time and sends you the result as a message in your SecXChat AI chat. It is the difference between remembering to ask and having the asking done for you, and it is live now for everyone who can use the AI assistant.
What is a scheduled task?
A scheduled task is a short instruction you give the AI assistant, plus a rhythm for repeating it. You write the task in plain words — the way you would ask the assistant in a chat — and pick how often it should run. The assistant then runs it on that schedule and delivers the result to you as a message, so you find it waiting in your AI chat the next time you open the app. You do not have to keep the app open, and you do not have to remember the task yourself. The result arrives like any other message from the assistant, in the same chat where you already talk to it.
How often can a task run?
Tasks repeat on a fixed set of rhythms: every 3 hours, every 6 hours, every 12 hours, every 24 hours, or once a day at an hour you choose. A daily task at a set hour is the most useful shape for most people — a morning summary before the day starts, an evening check-in when the day ends. The shorter rhythms suit things that change through the day. There is no one-time schedule: every task repeats on one of these rhythms, which keeps the feature simple and predictable. You can keep up to three scheduled tasks at a time, so the natural move is to pick the three things you actually want repeated and leave the rest to ordinary chats with the assistant.
How to set one up
Setting up a task takes less than a minute. Open your SecXChat AI chat, open the menu — the three dots at the top — and choose "Scheduled tasks". You will see a sheet listing the tasks you already have, if any, with their text, their schedule and their next run time. Tap to add a new task, write what you want the assistant to do, pick a rhythm, and save it. That is all. The server checks for due tasks every 15 minutes, so a task runs close to its time, and the result lands in your AI chat as a message. Deleting a task is just as simple, and it asks you to confirm first, so you cannot lose a task with an accidental tap.
What it cannot do
A scheduled task is a conversation with the assistant that happens on a clock — it is not a way to make the assistant act as you in the app. It cannot send messages for you, post on your behalf, change your settings or manage your account. The result it sends you is a message from the assistant to you, and anything that should happen in a chat or on your account still needs you to do it. That limit is deliberate: the things the assistant does on its own stay inside its own chat, where you can read them and decide what happens next.
Who can use it
Scheduled tasks follow the same rule as the rest of the AI agent features: they are for SecXChat Verified users, or for users whose AI Agent or Browser is switched on. If you are not entitled, the scheduled-tasks sheet simply is not there for you, and the feature is gated on the server as well — not just hidden in the interface — so there is no way around it from the app side. If you are entitled, you will find the sheet in the AI chat menu right away. The same entitlement rule covers Think mode, the assistant's deeper reasoning switch, which is explained in our Think mode guide.
Why it matters
Most assistant features save you typing. Scheduled tasks save you remembering, which is the harder half of getting things done. A task you set once and forget about is a task that still happens — the result is waiting for you instead of the idea fading by evening. Start with one task, something small and daily, and see how it feels to have the assistant come to you instead of the other way around. If it earns its place, add a second. Three is the limit, and for most people three well-chosen tasks are more than enough.
