This is where it gets exciting for a solopreneur. Instead of you starting Claude every time, you can set it up to **run on its own schedule** — every morning, every few hours, every Monday. Like an employee who clocks in without being told. ## What it is A scheduled agent (Claude calls this **Cowork**) is just Claude with a job and a time. You set it up once: *"Every weekday at 8am, gather yesterday's sign-ups and send me a summary."* From then on, it does it. Forever. Without you. ## Why this is a big deal when you're solo You can't be everywhere. A scheduled agent is the closest thing to cloning yourself: * A **morning brief** waiting when you wake up. * **Outreach** drafted and queued before you sit down. * A **weekly report** that just appears. Work that used to eat your mornings now happens while you sleep. ## The catch — and why Orbit fixes it Here's the problem with an assistant that works while you're away: *how do you know it actually did its job?* If you can't see it, you can't trust it. This is the single biggest reason to connect Orbit. With it, every scheduled run: * **Checks in** so you know it ran. * **Saves its work** to your Vault — the summary, the report, the leads. * **Shows up in your morning Briefing** — one tidy card per agent, with what it did and a link to everything it made. * **Follows your rules**, even unattended. Without Orbit, a scheduled agent is a black box you just have to hope is working. With Orbit, it's an employee who leaves a clear report on your desk every time. ## Keep the cost sensible Since these run over and over, use a cheaper, faster model for simple jobs (see [Which Claude to use](/claude-education/models)). A daily summary doesn't need the expensive expert model. The two ways to put work on repeat — and which to pick.
