Tasks

A Task is a prompt Foundry runs for you without you sitting in the chat. Set it up once, get answers on a cadence.

​

Two flavors

Each task lands in your chat history under Recent, with an unread badge so you spot it the moment you next open Foundry.

​

What a task does

Every task is essentially: “run this prompt, with these connectors, on this schedule, and notify me.” You configure:

• Name and description — what this task is for.
• System prompt (optional) — extra context that always applies.
• Prompt — what the assistant should do each run.
• Connectors — which connected services it can use.
• Schedule — cron or preset.
• Lifetime cap — max number of runs (default: 10).

​

Why people use tasks

• Daily brief — “summarize the top 10 X posts about AI infra from the last 24 hours”, every morning at 8am.
• Monitoring — “check competitor X’s pricing page and tell me if it changed”, every Monday.
• Lead enrichment — “for each new row in this Notion DB, look up the company and append a one-line summary” (via a connector).
