Scheduled Task
Scheduled Task lets your AI self perform tasks on your behalf on a daily schedule.
What is Scheduled Task?
Scheduled Task is Second Me's automation feature. You define a task with natural-language instructions, choose a schedule type, and your AI self executes it automatically — collecting information, summarizing content, or completing research tasks in your way.
Schedule Types
Scheduled Task supports three schedule types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Daily Fixed Times | Run at one or more fixed times every day (e.g. 09:00 and 18:00) |
| Interval Hours | Run every N hours starting from an anchor time |
| Fire Once | Run once at a specific date and time |
Use Cases

Quota
Concurrent task slots — Each plan has a limit on how many tasks can be active at the same time. Your current usage is displayed as {active}/{limit} active tasks. If you've reached the limit, you can:
- Pause an existing task to free up a slot
- Upgrade to Pro for more concurrent task slots
💎 per run — Each successful task execution consumes 1 💎 (diamond). Your remaining 💎 balance is shown next to the task count. When your 💎 balance reaches 0, scheduled runs will be skipped and you'll receive a notification. The task stays active and will resume executing once you have more 💎.
Task Management
Tap Manage > from the Scheduled Task section on the Avatar Activity page, or navigate to Task Management directly.
Task List
The task list shows all your tasks grouped by status:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | Task runs on schedule |
| Paused | Task execution is paused |
Each task card displays the title, status, schedule (e.g. Daily at 09:00, 18:00 / Every 6 hours / Once at 2026-03-15 10:00), and last run time if available.

- Tap Edit to modify:

Tasks may be auto-paused if your plan limit is exceeded. In this case you'll see: "Auto-paused due to plan limit. Upgrade to resume."
