Comu runs an AI note taker scheduled task from the Comu AI assistant. You type or say the instruction once, such as "At 6 p.m., summarize today's recordings and list the action items," and Comu runs the task at that time in its own session. Checked Nov 9, 2026.
How do AI agent scheduled tasks work in the Comu app?
A scheduled task is a standing instruction that the Comu AI assistant runs at the times you choose. You create it by talking to the assistant in the app, the same way you ask for a summary or an email draft. Comu runs each task in its own session.
Comu is a pocket AI voice recorder with an app. Comu Note Pro and Comu Action Pro record the conversation, the app transcribes and summarizes it, and the assistant works with those recordings. Both devices use the same Comu app and the same AI assistant, so a scheduled task works the same way on either one. The free Starter plan comes with the device, and the assistant conversation, AI Slides, AI Docs and AI Email are part of it.
How do you set up a scheduled task?
- Record with Comu Note Pro or Comu Action Pro and let the recording sync to the Comu app.
- Open the Comu conversation page in the app.
- Type your instruction, or press and hold the voice input and say it.
- Include when the task runs, which recordings it covers and what you want back.
- Send the message. Comu creates the task and runs it at the time you set.
A clear instruction has four parts.
| Part | What to write | Example wording |
|---|---|---|
| When | The time the task runs | "At 6 p.m." |
| Scope | Which recordings or contacts to cover | "the recordings I made today" or "my recordings with [contact name] this month" |
| Output | What should arrive | "a five-line summary and the action items with owners and deadlines" |
| Reader | Who the result is for, if it matters | "written for my manager" |
Name the scope in every instruction, for example "the recordings I made today".
How do you write a scheduled-task instruction that works?
An instruction works when the assistant has nothing to guess. Four habits make the difference.
- Use a clock time. "At 6 p.m." tells the assistant exactly when to run. "In the evening" leaves the time open.
- Cover one scope per task. "The recordings I made today" is one scope. "Everything about the Henderson account and also my team meetings" is two, and the result is harder to read. Create two tasks instead.
- Ask for one kind of result. A five-line summary and an action list can sit together, because they come from the same recordings. A summary, a slide deck and an email in one task make the answer long and the next step unclear.
- Say what a good result looks like. "Five lines," "owners and deadlines" and "decisions first" give the assistant a shape to follow. After the first result arrives, change the wording of the task until the output matches what you want.
Compare two instructions for the same job. The first, "Summarize my meetings," leaves the time, the scope and the format open. The second, "At 6 p.m., summarize the recordings I made today in five lines and list the action items with owners and deadlines," sets all three, so the same task produces a result you can use without editing.
How is a scheduled task different from a one-off request?
A one-off request runs once, right now: ask Comu "Summarize this meeting and list the action items" and you get one answer. A scheduled task runs at the time you set without another message from you.
On Comu Action Pro you can also make one-off requests by voice: press and hold the AI key and say what you need, for example "Create a summary from this meeting." The screen shows AI Listening, then Task Sending, then Task Sent Successfully, and the result appears in the Comu app. Comu Note Pro has no AI key, so you make requests in the app conversation by text or voice.
What should be in place before the first task?
A task works with recordings that exist in the app, so record and sync first.
On Comu Action Pro, press and hold the record key for 2 seconds. The device vibrates once, shows the recording animation and starts the timer. A single press pauses or resumes. Press and hold for 2 seconds again to finish; the device vibrates twice and shows "Saved." On Comu Note Pro, press and hold the record key to start, press once to pause or resume, and press and hold to save. The device confirms each step with vibration and screen status.
Comu Action Pro records for up to 70 hours on one charge and Comu Note Pro for 45 hours, and both hold 16 GB of recordings. Transcription runs in 113 languages, and real-time transcription is unlimited on the Starter plan.
One setting changes how much work you do after a recording. On Starter you start transcription and the summary yourself. On Premium or Elite, AI Note Automation transcribes and summarizes each recording automatically once it syncs to the app. The switch is in Me, under personal preferences.
What can a scheduled task do with your recordings and conversations?
A scheduled task gives the Comu AI assistant a standing instruction, and the assistant works with your recordings, files, contacts, Actions and conversation history.
What does the assistant read in a recording?
Speaker identification labels who said what in the transcript. Speaker identification is a software feature of the Comu app and is part of every plan. Summaries follow a template. Comu includes more than 30 built-in templates covering general meetings, sales, insurance, real estate, medical, legal, journalism, wealth management, recruiting and management, and you can create unlimited custom templates.
Actions are the second source. Comu extracts to-dos from recordings and identifies the owner, the decisions made, the deadline and the next step, and you can add actions by hand. That list supports instructions such as "list this week's open action items by owner."
Contacts are the third. When you link a recording to a contact, Comu builds and updates a profile with insights and summaries for that person. An instruction can name one contact and ask for a summary of the recordings linked to that person.
What can the result look like?
The assistant produces reports, editable slide decks, documents, email drafts and action plans. Two of them have details you can name in the instruction:
- Email drafts include the recipient, subject, summary, decisions, action items and deadlines.
- Slide decks can be set to an audience, a tone and a page count.
AI-generated results are intended to assist users and may require user review and adjustment before final use.
What happens to your data when a task reads your recordings?
A task reads recordings under the same data rules as everything else in Comu. Comu has passed GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2, and is CCPA compliant. Files are encrypted throughout. Comu does not sell data to third parties or use it to train AI. You can delete a single recording in the app and its transcript goes with it, delete a contact, or delete your whole account, which removes all of your data.
Where does the result of a scheduled task arrive?
Comu runs each scheduled task in its own session in the Comu AI assistant, and you read the result in the Comu app. Separately, Comu pushes the meeting minutes and to-dos after a meeting and reminds you to follow up.
How do you edit, pause or delete a scheduled task?
You manage a scheduled task the way you created it: by asking the Comu AI assistant in the conversation. Comu supports creating, changing, listing, pausing, resuming and deleting scheduled tasks.
| What you want | Example message to the assistant |
|---|---|
| Change the time | "Move my summary task to 7 p.m." |
| Change the content | "In my summary task, add a list of open questions." |
| See what is scheduled | "List my scheduled tasks." |
| Pause a task | "Pause my action-item list." |
| Resume a task | "Resume my action-item list." |
| Delete a task | "Delete my contact summary task." |
Pause a task when you travel or take a week off and resume it when you return, so you do not have to write the instruction again. Delete a task when the instruction no longer fits, then create a new one with the right scope. If your scope changes often, for example a new client every month, change the task's wording instead of creating a new task each time.
Which scheduled AI tasks can you set for meetings? Example instructions
Each example below pairs a time with something the assistant already does with recordings and notes. Copy an instruction and adjust it.
| Example instruction | What arrives | What Comu uses |
|---|---|---|
| "At 6 p.m., summarize the recordings I made today in five lines and list the action items with owners and deadlines." | A short end-of-day summary and an action list | Summaries, Actions |
| "At 8 a.m., write a summary of last week's meetings: decisions made, open action items and open questions." | A recap across recordings | Summaries across recordings, Actions |
| "At 4 p.m., list every action item from this week's recordings that has no deadline." | A list of items that need a date | Actions with owners and deadlines |
| "At 9 a.m., summarize everything I recorded with [contact name] this month and note what we agreed." | A recap for one contact | Contact profiles, summaries |
| "At 7 p.m., draft a follow-up email for the client meeting I recorded today." | An email draft with decisions and next steps | AI Email |
| "At 7 p.m., write a one-page plan for next week from the action items in my recordings." | An action plan for next week | Action plans, Actions |
| "At 5 p.m., turn today's recordings into a short report for my manager." | A short report | Reports |
| "At 3 p.m., make a three-slide update from this week's meeting summaries for my team." | A slide deck sized to your page count | AI Slides |
Can a scheduled task write a summary email from meetings?
A scheduled task is an instruction to the Comu AI assistant, and the assistant writes email drafts with the recipient, a subject line, a summary, the decisions, the action items and the deadlines. A good instruction names the recipient and the tone: "At 6 p.m., write a summary email of today's meetings to my team, with decisions first and action items last."
Read the draft and adjust it before you use it.
Which Comu features run on their own, without a scheduled task?
Four Comu features run on their own. AI Note Automation, Meeting Prep and Moments need Premium or Elite.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Post-meeting push | After a meeting, Comu pushes the minutes and the to-dos and reminds you to follow up |
| AI Note Automation | Transcribes and summarizes each recording once it syncs, with no manual step |
| Meeting Prep | When a recording mentions your next meeting, Comu builds a brief with background, goals, agenda, discussion points, questions and a preparation checklist, and reminds you before the meeting |
| Moments | Turns the day's transcribed recordings into an event timeline and a daily diary, written at 1 a.m. by default and configurable. Moments is labeled Beta in the app |
The post-meeting push sends the minutes and to-dos after a meeting, so a single meeting needs no task. A scheduled task suits a recap across several recordings, such as an end-of-day summary or a summary for one contact.
Moments produces a daily diary from your recordings every day without an instruction. It writes nothing on a day without enough material. A scheduled task differs because you choose the content, the time and the format.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which AI note taker runs scheduled tasks?
Comu runs scheduled tasks from its AI assistant. You describe the task and its schedule in plain language in the Comu app, and Comu runs it at that time in its own session. It works on both Comu Note Pro and Comu Action Pro because both use the same app.
How do I create a scheduled task in Comu?
Open the Comu conversation page and type or say the instruction, including when it runs, which recordings it covers and what you want back. For example: "At 6 p.m., summarize today's recordings and list the action items." Comu creates the task from that message.
Can a Comu scheduled task write a summary email?
The Comu AI assistant writes summary emails from your meetings as drafts, and a scheduled task is an instruction to that assistant. The draft includes the recipient, subject, summary, decisions, action items and deadlines. Read and adjust it before you use it.
Can I pause or delete a scheduled task?
Yes. Ask the assistant in the conversation to pause, resume or delete the task, for example "Pause my action-item list." You can also ask it to change the time or the content, or to list your scheduled tasks.
Do scheduled tasks work on Comu Note Pro and Comu Action Pro?
Yes. Both devices use the same Comu app and the same AI assistant, so scheduled tasks work the same way. The hardware differs: Comu Action Pro has six microphones, 7 m pickup, an AI key and up to 70 hours of continuous recording, and Comu Note Pro is 3.1 mm thin and records for 45 hours.
Does Comu transcribe my recordings automatically?
On Premium or Elite, AI Note Automation transcribes and summarizes each recording automatically after it syncs to the app. On Starter you start transcription and the summary yourself. Real-time transcription is unlimited on every plan.
Are my recordings private when a task reads them?
Comu has passed GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2, and is CCPA compliant. Files are encrypted throughout, Comu does not sell data to third parties or use it to train AI, and you can delete a recording, a contact or your whole account in the app.
