Task planning

With the Yandex AI chat, you can schedule tasks for later. Describe what Yandex AI needs to do and when, and the service will send you the results.

What tasks can be scheduled

Yandex AI can remind you of routine tasks or provide updates requested in your prompt at regular intervals. For example, you can request:

  • A daily digest of news on a specific topic like technology, sports, or finance.
  • Reminders to sleep, drink water, exercise, or perform other regular tasks.
  • A weather forecast.
  • A list of your tasks planned for the day.
  • Automatic updates on product prices or event schedules.

Create a task

To create a task, enter your prompt in the chat's input field and tap . When writing your prompt, follow our recommendations or use prompt templates to make sure you craft effectiven prompts and get the outcome you're looking for.

Yandex AI will confirm that the task has been created and repeat the prompts it will follow to complete it. You can change these prompts.

Write an effective prompt

A clear prompt helps Yandex AI better understand your task. To make your prompt more effective, make sure it includes:

Action and context

Clearly describe what needs to be done and provide important context. For example, instead of "Remind me about water", write "Remind me to drink a glass of water with a short motivational message every hour from 10:00 to 19:00 daily".

Time and frequency

Use precise times, such as "at 9:00 every day", "on Mondays and Thursdays", or "on the first day of each month".

Format and sources

To receive updates with information about a specific topic, specify the format (short report, analytical article, or list) and list your preferred sources.
