Automations
The Work That Repeats Runs Itself
Set it up once in plain words, on a schedule or when something happens in your apps. PandaOS runs it and keeps the result waiting for you.

Hot-Swap AI Plans
No Data Training
Desktop-FirstEverything You Need to Hand Off Repeat Work
Describe the job once. PandaOS turns it into an automation with a trigger, its steps and a record of what every run did.
On a Schedule
Every hour, every weekday, every Monday at 09:00 or the 1st of the month. Pick it in the schedule picker, or write a cron expression if you prefer.
Event starting soonWhen Something Happens
Start a run when an email arrives, an issue is opened or a deploy finishes. Webhooks and events from apps you built in PandaOS start it at once.
Uses Your Connected Apps
Any app you have connected can be a step, next to AI steps, full agent sessions and conditions that branch the flow.
Runs Within Your Rules
Rules mode is the default: a call that matches no rule pauses the run and asks you first. Scheduled runs always use the Limited sandbox.
See What Each Run Did
How it started, how long it took, what it cost and every tool call, for the last 10 runs of each automation. You are notified when one finishes.
Hand Off a Routine in Three Steps
No workflow editor to learn first. Say what you want, check what PandaOS built, and let it run.
Describe It
Tell PandaOS in a chat what should happen, and when.
Check the Steps
See the trigger and every step, and change any of them in the builder.
Let It Run
It runs on its schedule or its event, and the result waits for you.
Stop Doing the Same Task Every Week
Recurring work rarely takes long. It just keeps coming back, and it always lands at a bad time.
Without PandaOS
You remember the routine and do it by hand.
- Set a reminder for every recurring task
- Copy the same numbers into the same email each week
- Check inboxes and dashboards in case something happened
- Drop the routine when you are busy or away
- Rebuild the context every time you sit down to do it
With PandaOS
The routine runs and you review the result.
- Describe the task once and it repeats on its own
- Find the summary ready before your week starts
- React to new emails, issues and app events as they come in
- Catch up on a missed run once your computer wakes
- See what every run did, and what it cost
Goes Further With the Rest of PandaOS
Automations use the same apps, the same AI and the same project knowledge as your chats.
Set Up the Routine Once
Describe the work that keeps coming back, and let PandaOS take it from there.
FAQ
Do automations run when PandaOS is closed?
They run while PandaOS is running, and that includes the tray. Closing the window keeps PandaOS in the tray, and it starts there when you log in, so a schedule fires with no window open. If your computer was asleep or PandaOS was quit, a missed run happens once when it is back, or is skipped if you prefer.
Do I need to write code or cron expressions?
No. Describe the automation in a chat, or pick a trigger and steps in the builder. A custom cron expression is there if you want one.
Which apps can start an automation?
Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Google Chat, Google Drive, GitHub, Vercel, Supabase, Trello and database queries, plus any webhook. Apps you build in PandaOS can start automations with their own events.
How fast does an automation react?
Webhooks and events from apps you built in PandaOS start a run at once. Built-in apps are checked every few minutes, an interval you can set on each trigger.
Can an automation do something I did not approve?
Rules mode is the default: calls that match your rules run, read-only tools are always allowed, and anything else pauses the run and asks you. Automations started by a webhook always run in Rules mode. For automations you trust, you can choose Full access.
Which AI does an automation use?
The same connections as your chats. An automation follows your default engine unless you pin it to another, and every run shows its tokens and cost.
