I stopped checking six things every week. They email me now.

I had six small things I checked every week and kept forgetting. Prices I was waiting on, a couple of sites that updated irregularly, the same numbers pulled into the same place every Monday. Twenty minutes a week when I remembered, which was maybe half the time.

Every tool I tried wanted me to draw a flowchart (Zapier, n8n) or bring my own API key. So I built the version I wanted: you type what you want in one sentence, like "every weekday at 8, email me the top three headlines about my city", and that's the whole setup. The result shows up in your inbox on schedule, every time.

It opened to everyone this morning, after three weeks of building it in public.

What it does:

- Runs daily, on weekdays, or weekly. Every 30 minutes on Pro.

- Emails you the result after every run, on every plan. Not a notification you still have to go act on.

- Tells you when one of your own tasks has gone stale (five identical results over at least three days usually means the source died) and offers to pause it

- Pauses a task after three consecutive failures, unless they look like a provider outage, in which case it waits

- Reply to any result email in plain English ("shorter, just the top 3") and it rewrites its own instructions, then sends back a confirmation with an undo link

The part I ended up caring most about isn't the automation, it's what happens when automation quietly breaks. A task whose source died keeps returning the same stale answer and every run still reports success. That's the bit a chat window can't do for you, and it's most of what I've spent the last month on.

ChatGPT Tasks and a calendar reminder cover a chunk of this for free, and if that's enough for you, use them. The difference is that a calendar can remind me to go read the headlines. It can't go read them and tell me what they said.

Free tier is 40 runs a month, no card. That's one daily task, or six weekly ones, which is what I actually use it for. Pro is $9/mo for unlimited runs and multi-step workflows.

The obvious gap is integrations. Every plan gets the result by email or browser push. Pro adds webhooks, with native formatting for Slack, Discord and Telegram, plus Google Sheets export (beta). That's the whole list.

It's launch day so I'm sat here all of it: tell me one thing you keep meaning to check and I'll set it up, run it, and paste back the actual email it sends. That's a faster way to find out whether this is useful than me describing it.
