Autotasks are a unique Quantium feature most AI bots don't have. The bot runs your prompt on a schedule and sends the result straight to your chat. Morning news digests, weekly metric summaries, automated social media creatives — all this works on its own after you set it up just once.
This article covers how to create an autotask in minutes, what scheduling options you get, gives you 5 ready-to-use scenarios with prompts, and explains the limitations and key details.
How to Create an Autotask
You set up autotasks through the bot's menu. It's simple:
Then the bot walks you through 4 steps:
- Task Name — whatever you want, just for your own reference in the list.
- Prompt — exactly what the AI should do. It's the same as a regular chat prompt, but think about it running repeatedly.
- Schedule — when to run it. Pick from presets or use cron-like syntax.
- Model and Parameters — which AI to use (default GPT-5.4), if web search is needed, and if the task should remember previous runs.
Once created, the task shows up in your list with an "Active" status. Manage it through the Tasks → My Tasks menu: you can pause it, edit the prompt, view its run history, or delete it.
Schedule Types
Quantium supports 6 schedule types, plus manual runs. You can also run any task manually with the "Run Now" button — super handy for testing a prompt before letting it run automatically.
- Hourly — every 60 minutes. That's the most frequent interval allowed.
- Daily — at a chosen time (in your timezone).
- Weekdays — Mon–Fri at a chosen time.
- Weekly — a specific day of the week and hour.
- Monthly — a specific day of the month.
- Once — runs on a specified date and time, then deactivates itself.
The number of active tasks you can have depends on your plan. Here are the limits:
| Plan | Active Tasks | Min Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 1 | Daily |
| Basic | 15 | Hourly |
| Pro | 30 | Hourly |
| VIP | 60 | Hourly |
| Max | 120 | Hourly |
