Dispatch work, close the tab, and come back to results. Prometheus keeps going.

How background tasks work

When you give Prometheus a task that takes time — research, data processing, multi-step workflows — it runs in the background. You don't need to keep the conversation open. You don't need to watch it work.

Tasks run to completion, store their results, and notify you when they're done.

Scheduling

Set up recurring tasks with cron-style scheduling. Daily reports, weekly summaries, hourly monitoring checks — anything that should happen on a regular cadence.

# Example: daily morning briefing at 7am
schedule: "0 7 * * *"
task: "Scan news, financial markets, and competitor activity. Synthesize into a briefing."
