Scheduling is no longer just about running something at the right time. It is about running it in the right place, with the right context.

This release introduces the ability to keep automated work tied to an existing task's context, allowing recurring updates, conversations, and files to continue building within the same workspace. Users can now assign scheduled tasks to Projects, leveraging shared files, skills, and connectors previously set up. Web apps built on Manus can now include scheduled actions, like routine data refreshes or automated report generation, without manual intervention. The update also provides new schedule management tools, including a side panel, calendar, and run history for clear visibility into past and upcoming executions. Users gain granular control over each schedule, with settings for run options, prompt customization, connector integration, project association, and selection of the execution environment.
Manus, the company behind this upgrade, focuses on workflow automation and productivity solutions. This update marks a shift from simple time-based triggers to context-aware automation, aiming to address the needs of teams who depend on continuity across recurring work.
