What runs on its own

Some work happens overnight, or first thing in the morning, without you touching anything. Settings → Schedule is the whole list in one place: what runs, how often, when it last ran, and roughly what a month of it costs.

You can slow anything down or switch it off. You can only speed it up as far as your plan allows.

How it works

  1. Open Settings → Schedule. The bar at the top shows about how many credits a month of scheduled work will use, against your monthly allowance.
  2. Each card is one job — the Morning brief, the Competitor pulse, Competitor menu watch, your channels digest, your Google reviews, and so on.
  3. Pick a cadence on any card: Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Off. It takes effect on the next scheduled pass, usually within the hour.
  4. Options your plan doesn’t include show a padlock. Slower options are always available.
  5. Under each card you’ll see when it last ran — and if something went wrong, what and when we’ll try again.

A worked example: watch your rivals’ posts Daily but re-read their menus only Monthly. Menus rarely change and each menu read costs more, so that pairing keeps you current on the fast-moving stuff without spending your allowance on the slow-moving stuff.

Good to know

  • Turning something off stops both the work and its cost — nothing runs quietly in the background.
  • Credit figures are an estimate for an average month. The real number moves with how many places you track.
  • The competitor jobs cost more the more places you track, since each place is checked separately.
  • Heads-up alerts are free — they read what we already have rather than asking the AI for anything new.
  • If the top bar turns red, your scheduled work alone would use more than your monthly allowance. Slow something down, or add credits.
