Cron jobs let your agent automatically run tasks on a schedule. Instead of remembering to ask for the same thing every day, week, or month, you set it once and let the agent handle it.

Use cron for predictable, recurring tasks: morning briefings, weekly reports, backups, checking logs, generating invoices, collecting data, cleaning files, or routine maintenance. Hermes can also bring contextual memory into the scheduled task.

Tell your agent what you want done and when — for example, “Every weekday at 8 AM, research the latest AI news and send me a summary on Telegram.” The agent can help create and manage the schedule for you.
