Background actions

Most automations get created because you ask for them — "every morning, summarize my calendar and send it to Telegram." That works today, and you manage those from your Automations list.

We're also building something more proactive: Cloa setting up routines on its own when it notices a pattern that would save you a step. That part is coming soon — here's what to expect.

What proactive automations will do

Cloa will watch for patterns in how you use it and propose a routine when one would help. For example:

• You check your calendar at the same time every weekday morning → Cloa proposes a morning brief that surfaces it automatically.
• You ask for a Slack catch-up every Sunday evening → Cloa proposes a Sunday review that runs on its own.
• You prep for recurring meetings the same way each week → Cloa proposes a meeting-prep routine that pulls the context together ahead of time.

The trigger is your actual usage, not guesswork — Cloa will only propose routines that mirror something you already do.

How you'll stay in control

When this arrives, you'll be in charge of it:

• Cloa asks first. For the routines it proposes, you'll approve them before they start running.
• They're clearly labelled. Cloa-created routines will be flagged in your Automations list so you can tell them apart from the ones you set up yourself.
• You can turn it off. A setting to disable proactive suggestions entirely is on the way.

What you control today

Until proactive automations arrive, you stay in full control by creating automations yourself — just ask Cloa in chat. Every automation, however it's created, shows up in your Automations list, where you can pause, resume, or delete it, and change what it does by telling Cloa in chat.
