Scheduled Tasks & Remote Execution

Beyond giving tasks live in the chat, Silicon Worker supports two ways to get work done while you're away from the computer: scheduled tasks that run on a plan, and assigning tasks remotely through a chat app.

Scheduled tasks

You can have a task trigger at a set time — either one-off or recurring (such as daily or weekly). When the time comes, Silicon Worker automatically opens a session to run it.

  1. Open the Scheduled Tasks page.
  2. Create a task:
    • Enter the task description (what you want it to do).
    • Set the trigger plan: a specific one-off time, or a recurring rule.
  3. After saving, the task runs automatically on schedule.

Good fits

Best for regular, repetitive work — periodic summaries, periodic checks, scheduled cleanup, and the like.

The device must be running

Scheduled tasks run on your machine. They require Silicon Worker to be running and the device powered on and online so the trigger can fire.

Assign tasks remotely through a chat app

Silicon Worker can connect to chat apps, letting you send it tasks and receive results from your phone or another device by chatting. Available connectors are still being rounded out — check which chat apps your current version offers in Settings.

  1. Open the settings entry for chat-app integration to see which chat apps your version supports.
  2. Choose the chat app to connect, and follow the on-screen prompts to bind and authorize it.
  3. Once bound, the messages you send in that chat app are treated as tasks assigned to Silicon Worker, and the results are sent back to you.

Like talking to a person

Assigning tasks remotely works just like chatting on the desktop: describe what you want clearly, and key sensitive actions are still confirmed according to the rules.

Result and verification

  • Scheduled tasks: after the trigger time, you can see the automatic run and its result in the session history.
  • Remote execution: receiving a reply in the chat app you bound means the task ran.
