TaskLift Supercharged for Running AI Offline and Staying Notified

TaskLift just got a major upgrade for everyone who wants their AI to work for them — even when they're away, asleep, or just busy living life. With the release of  Scheduling Assistants and  Working With Notifications enhanced with push notifications, TaskLift now lets you schedule assistants to run in the background and get notified instantly when something important happens. Let's dive into what's new, what's possible, and how it all fits together!

Schedule Your AI — No Technical Skills Required

Ever wished your AI could check on things for you at regular intervals, or just at the perfect moment? Now it can! With Scheduled Assistants, you can automate any assistant to run at specific times — whether that's every hour, every Monday at 9am, or on a custom schedule that fits your needs.

• Easy setup: Describe your schedule in plain English ("every weekday at 8am") or use cron expressions if you're feeling fancy (or a bit of a scheduling masochist 😅).
• Flexible timing: One-off or recurring, with full timezone support and a preview of upcoming runs.
• Any assistant, any prompt: Pick your favorite assistant, set the message it should receive, and let it do its thing — whether that's fetching data, summarizing news, or running custom workflows.

Push Notifications: Never Miss a Beat

TaskLift's notifications have always kept you in the loop, but now they're turbocharged with push notifications. Get real-time alerts on your desktop or mobile — even when TaskLift isn't open — so you never miss an important update.

• In-app & push: See notifications in TaskLift or enable push to get them instantly on your device.
• Custom alerts: Let your assistants notify you about anything — thanks to the Notifications tool, your AI can send you updates, alerts, or summaries whenever you want.

Example: AI That Watches the World for You

Imagine you want to monitor currency rates, stock prices, or any other data — no tech skills required. With TaskLift, you can:

1. Use the MCP tool (or create your own assistant tool) to fetch the latest rates or info.
2. Set up a scheduled assistant to run every hour (or whenever you like) and check for changes.
3. Equip your AI with the Notifications tool (with push enabled!) so it can alert you instantly if something important happens — like your target price being hit.
4. Want even more power? Add the Computer and Drive tools so your AI can remember past runs, compare data, and make smarter decisions about when to notify you.

All of this is possible without writing a single line of code. Just chat, turn the working workflow into an assistant, set up a schedule for it, and let TaskLift handle the rest.

Already Powerful — Now Even More So

These new features build on TaskLift's existing strengths:

• Start a chat, walk away: Launch a long-running AI task and get notified when it's done — even if you close TaskLift or switch devices.
• Automatic private compute: TaskLift can spin up private MCP tools in the background for your assistants, handling all the heavy lifting so you don't have to.
• Persistent memory: Use the Drive tool to store and retrieve data to let your assistants remember past results, and track progress across recurring runs.
• Zero-code automation: Design workflows, chain tools, and create assistants — all from the chat, no tech expertise needed.
• Unified, flexible AI: Seamlessly switch between different models and tools — even those with varying hosting or compute backends — all under a single, unified billing system.

The Big Picture: AI That Works for You, Online or Offline

With scheduled assistants, push notifications, and TaskLift's ever-growing toolkit, you can now automate, monitor, and react to anything — whether you're online or not. Your AI can keep working in the background, alert you to what matters, and help you build powerful, personalized automations for any need.
