1. What Are Scheduled Actions?
Google’s Scheduled Actions empowers Gemini users to instruct the AI to perform tasks at specific times or on recurring schedules—without needing to prompt each time Whether it’s a daily briefing or a one-time reminder, these automate your interactions with Gemini, turning it from reactive to proactive.
2. Supported Task Types: One Off, Recurring & Event Triggered
• One off: Ask Gemini to perform a single action (e.g., “Tomorrow at 18:00, message my study group the Zoom link.”)
• Recurring: Setup daily, weekly, or monthly actions (e.g., “Every weekday at 07:00, give me a three-bullet briefing of futures markets.”
•Event triggered: Chain prompts to events (“After the Italy–Spain match ends, send me final score and stats.”) This allows intelligent automations tied to real-world happenings
3. What You Can Automate
Scheduled Actions supports a range of automated tasks: gemini.google.com+15blog.google+15tomsguide.com+15
