Routines

Schedule a BridgeMind One agent to start repeatable work in a fresh chat while the app is running.

Routines schedule a BridgeMind One agent to start repeatable work. Each run opens a fresh chat with the selected teammate, preserving the result without mixing it into an unrelated conversation.

Create a Routine

1. Open Routines in the sidebar.
2. Select New Routine.
3. Choose the agent responsible for the work.
4. Name the routine.
5. Write the instruction the agent should receive on every run.
6. Choose the schedule.
7. Review the next run time and save.

The selected agent must allow routine scheduling in its settings.

Write the Instruction

A routine prompt should be complete without relying on the previous run. Include:

• The outcome to produce
• The source of truth to inspect
• The time window or scope
• The expected output format
• The actions that still require approval

Example:

Review this week's merged work, group it by builder outcome, draft concise release notes, link each claim to its source, and leave the draft in the chat for approval. Do not publish it.

Schedule Options

Routines support recurring schedules such as daily or weekly work and interval-based repetition. The routine form shows the resolved schedule and next expected run before you save.

Keep local time changes in mind when scheduling around daylight-saving transitions or travel.

Manage a Routine

From the Routines list, you can:

• Run now to start the work immediately
• Pause future scheduled runs
• Resume a paused routine
• Edit its agent, instruction, or schedule
• Open last when a completed run has a chat
• Delete the schedule without treating prior chats as disposable

Errors appear on the routine row so you can correct the instruction, engine, connection, or agent permission before resuming it.

How Runs Behave

• Every run starts a fresh agent chat.
• A paused routine does not start scheduled work.
• A missing agent or unavailable engine prevents that run from completing.
• Closing BridgeMind One stops the in-app scheduler.
• Reopening the app resumes future schedule checks; it does not make an exact-time guarantee for work missed while the app was closed.

Safe Routine Design

Prefer routines that gather, analyze, draft, or prepare work for review. Keep irreversible actions behind a builder confirmation.

Good routine outcomes include:

• A morning project summary
• A draft weekly update
• A dependency or repository health review
• A prepared research brief
• A queue of recommended follow-up actions

Avoid unattended instructions that publish externally, delete data, transfer money, or make open-ended changes without a bounded target.
