Task

Task ​

The Task tile lets you schedule actions to run at specific times. This could be regular content generation, making API requests, or triggering an agent.

What does it do? ​

Lets you set a schedule and define a task to be performed at regular intervals. Flexible time formats are supported: “every hour,” “every morning on weekdays,” “once every 5 minutes,” etc.

When to use? ​

  • For regularly updating reports, summaries, or generating content on the canvas, via API, or Telegram.
  • As triggers for periodic agent calls or running integrations.

Main tile elements ​

Schedule ​

Defines when and how often the task should run. Use natural language — Tila recognizes plain text. Examples:

  • Every day at 12:00
  • Every 3 hours
  • On the last day of the month at 20:00
  • Once a week on Thursdays at 10:00

📌 Note

The task will run based on your browser’s time zone.

What to do ​

Describe the action to be performed on schedule. This could be text generation, calling an external function, or interacting with other tiles.

“Active” toggle ​

If enabled — the task will start running on schedule. If disabled — it remains saved but inactive.

Model selection ​

You can specify the model that will perform the action. More: Choosing a language model.

“Apply” button ​

Saves and activates the task.

How to use ​

  1. Create a Task tile on the canvas
  2. Specify the schedule
  3. Describe what should be done
  4. Click Apply

📌 Note

Unlike tasks inside an agent, the Task tile can work autonomously, doesn’t need to be linked to an agent, and runs directly on the canvas.

Viewing and managing tasks ​

There is a “Tasks” button on the left toolbar to open the task list.

  • The task list shows all your tasks, which may run in the background.
  • Each task shows the last run time and status (active/paused).
  • Use the toggle to enable or disable any task without deleting the tile.
  • The ▶️ button runs the task manually “right now,” regardless of the schedule.
  • Clicking the task name opens the workspace and tile for that task.

This lets you control all background events and quickly change settings without searching for the tile on the canvas.

Recommendations ​

  • Use tasks for planning regular actions so you don’t have to run them manually.
  • Suitable for both simple tasks (summary, text, media) and automation.
