# Automations

> Automations schedule recurring work for an Agent and return each result to that Agent.

An **Automation** is recurring work owned by one Agent. Each run starts with
clean execution context, and its result returns in a labeled Side Chat under the
owning Agent.

## Create and manage Automations

* Open **Automations** in the current Agent's right drawer.
* Create or edit recurring work from that panel.
* Or ask the Agent to create, change, pause, resume, or delete an Automation.

When an Agent proposes an Automation change, Turnstone shows a review card before
applying it. The Agent cannot silently create or alter the schedule.

<Warning>
  Automations use Turnstone's in-app scheduler, not cron or Windows Task Scheduler.
  They run only while Turnstone is alive.
