AI routines: recurring tasks that run themselves

How to set up recurring AI tasks: weekly briefs, event-triggered follow-ups, and schedules that do real work, with approval on anything consequential.

Some work isn't hard, it's just relentless. The Friday report, the weekly reconciliation, the check on whether anything broke overnight. Doozy lets you set it up once, put it on a schedule, and your agents handle it on repeat. You review what matters and skip what does not.

How it works

Start by doing the work once with Doozy. When the result is good, save it and put it on a schedule: daily, weekly, monthly, or triggered by an event in a connected app.

Each run produces real results, not reminders. Your agent reads the latest data, does the work, and leaves the output for you. Anything that goes outside the workspace waits in your approval queue. Over time, your corrections make each run better than the last.

Who this is for

Operations teams, founders drowning in recurring admin, finance teams with weekly reconciliations, and anyone whose week has work that repeats but still takes real judgment.

Frequently asked questions

Can a routine run while I sleep?

Yes. With your own OpenRouter key saved, runs happen on Doozy's servers even when your laptop is closed.

Can I trigger a routine from an event instead of a schedule?

Yes. Event-triggered routines respond to changes in connected apps, like a deal closing or a support ticket being filed.

Will a routine send things without asking me?

Not for anything external. Messages, emails, and other outgoing actions wait in your approval queue.

How do I stop a routine?

Delete the schedule. Future runs stop immediately. Work already completed isn't undone.

Is this free?

Free forever for up to five people when you bring your own AI keys.

What kinds of routines can I set up?

Weekly reports, daily triage, invoice reminders, deploy checks, pipeline reviews — anything recurring.

Can routines react to events?

Yes. Event-triggered routines respond to changes in connected apps.

Do routines run overnight?

Yes. With BYO keys, they run on Doozy's servers while you sleep.
