Channel � Cron
Cron agents, the Rails way.
Schedule agents like Sidekiq jobs. Digests, monitoring sweeps, weekly reports — declared in Ruby, run on our timers, traced end-to-end.
One command to install
From the CLI or the agent detail page in your dashboard. We scaffold channels/cron.rb, handle OAuth or token exchange, and wire the channel into your agent's chat loop.
# in your Rails app
rails agent channels:add cronWhat you get out of the box
- Cron syntax and human-friendly (every day at 9am) both supported.
- Timezone-aware, DST-safe, retried on failure.
- Runs surface in the dashboard alongside chat runs.
Folder-native, like the rest of Rails Agent
Channels live inside your agent's directory alongside agent.rb, tools/ and knowledge/. Read the whole thing in a minute. Delete a file to remove the channel.
