The Scheduled AI Agent

A single-purpose agent that runs on a schedule — cron or a workflow trigger — executes one defined job, and delivers the result to Slack, email or your database.

This is the most contained agent shape we offer: one job, one schedule, one output destination. You tell us the trigger (a time of day, a recurring interval), the job (a scrape, a report compile, a check against a data source), and where the result should land — Slack, email or a database write. Typical examples are a daily competitor price scrape, a weekly client report compiled and emailed automatically, or an hourly inventory check that posts a Slack alert on stockout. Basic error handling means a failed run raises an alert rather than failing silently and going unnoticed. Built by engineers with 10+ years average experience running workflow automation, using the same n8n-based patterns we rely on across client work. Scope is fixed to one job on one schedule — a task that branches into multiple conditional paths is a different, larger build.

What's included

  • One scheduled agent: defined trigger (cron or workflow-based), one job, one output destination
  • Job logic built to your specification (scrape, report compile, data check, etc.)
  • Delivery wired to your destination of choice: Slack, email or your database
  • Basic error handling so a failed run raises an alert rather than failing silently

How it works

  1. 1

    Book it — pay the fixed price, tell us your target environment

  2. 2

    We deliver — an experienced specialist runs our standard workflow for this exact task; you can watch progress and ask questions

  3. 3

    Hand-off — you get the deliverables, documentation, and a walkthrough if you want one

FAQ

How fast is delivery?
Standard delivery is within 80 weekday hours (≈ 5 working days). Express delivery — within 48 weekday hours (≈ 3 working days) — costs 25% more.
What counts as "one job"?
A single defined task on a single trigger — "scrape competitor prices daily" is one job even if it checks several sites, but "scrape prices and also draft social posts" is two, and the second belongs in a separate engagement.
What if I need conditional branching instead of a fixed job?
That is closer to The Workflow-Hosted Agent, which is built for event triggers and branching logic rather than a single scheduled output.
Does it alert on failure?
Yes — basic error handling means a failed run raises an alert instead of quietly not happening.
