The new Scheduled Task Engine enables users to define tasks in markdown files that the agent can execute on a set cadence, with improved scheduling grammar for daily and weekly runs. This release lays the groundwork for more autonomous agentic workflows, moving towards ambient AI that can react to events within the user's vault. AI
