An AI assistant for scheduling and admin in Biilda runs recurring jobs on a timer: daily reminders, follow-up chasers, weekly planning notes and routine admin runs, hourly, daily or weekly. You describe the job once, approve the plan, and it happens on schedule, asking before it sends anything.
One limit up front. Biilda does not connect to calendars or booking tools, so it does not book meetings for you, and it does not do bookkeeping or accounting. What it does well is the repeat admin around them.
Biilda is a free desktop app for Windows and macOS. You build AI employees (Biilda's word for AI agents with a job) and scheduled tasks by chatting.
What admin can an AI agent take off your plate?
Admin is the work that is never urgent until it is late. It is also the work best suited to a timer, because it repeats and nobody wants to remember it.
A reminder task can post your priorities and deadlines to you each morning in Slack. A chaser task can find the people who owe you a reply or a payment and draft a polite nudge for each, held for your approval. A planning task can write a short plan for the week from your inbox and notes. A routine task can do any steady job you can describe, such as summarizing the notes in a folder you grant into one clean page.
Team rhythm is easy to automate too: a standing check-in question posted to a channel every Monday, or a Friday wrap-up prompt.
Every scheduled task shows up on a calendar inside Biilda, so you can see the whole pattern of what runs when, spot gaps or overlaps, run any task right now, and set a quality level per task: Economy, Balanced or Best. Pick a frequency that matches how you use the result. A weekly report should run weekly, not daily.
How does it work in Biilda?
- Describe it. "Every weekday at 8:00, post my top priorities for the day to Slack."
- Approve the plan. Biilda proposes what it will build, and you accept or refine it.
- It builds. The employee and the scheduled task are created.
- Switch it on. New tasks and employees start disabled, so a half-configured task can never fire before you have reviewed it.
- Approve outward actions. Anything sent outside the app waits for your approval by default.
If a scheduled task needs a permission it does not yet have, it does not silently fail. The request shows up in the Approvals tab, and once you grant it, the blocked task runs again.
What stays private?
Biilda runs on your computer, and your files, history and connector sign-ins stay there. Files are reachable only inside folders you grant through the operating system's picker. Content a task reads, such as email, is treated as data, never as instructions. The text being worked on is processed by the AI service behind Biilda for that task.
What does it cost?
Biilda is free to download, with no subscription. You buy credits in US dollars from $20 and pay only for what each task uses. The pricing page shows that drafting and sending a batch of personalized emails costs a few credits. A light daily reminder is a small job, but a schedule multiplies any task, so choose the frequency deliberately. A spend cap limits the total, and a task that runs out of credits pauses and resumes after you top up.
What does it not do?
Besides meeting booking and bookkeeping, Biilda will not act on a schedule while the app is closed: there is no cloud runner, so a quit app means paused schedules. It also will not guess its way past a permission. It asks, and waits for you.
How do you start in 30 minutes?
- Download Biilda and open it. It starts with your computer and sits in the tray.
- Pick one recurring chore you keep forgetting.
- Describe it in chat, with the time and frequency.
- Accept the plan, then connect Slack or Gmail if the job needs it.
- Run it once on demand, then switch on the schedule.
- Look at the calendar after a week and add the next job.
Remember the one real limit: scheduled tasks run while Biilda is running. If you quit the app, nothing runs until you open it again.
