You've already connected your inbox to Claude and built an email triage skill. The last manual step is running it yourself every morning. This episode cuts that string. Jason walks through setting up a scheduled task in Cowork two ways: conversationally with "Create with Claude," and manually with a one-line instruction (/email-triage, daily, 5 a.m., act without asking). He covers why this particular task is a safe first automation (repetitive, time-boxed, low risk, nothing sends), how to test it with "Run Now," and how to review every past run. The bigger idea: a scheduled task flips the relationship. Instead of you prompting Claude, Claude initiates and you react to a finished result. Once one task earns your trust, you stack more (calendar at 5:15, LinkedIn at 4, a combined briefing at 6) until dozens run every day. Jason runs 36+ on a single cloud instance. Ends with a pointer to the Notion track for getting results out of Claude entirely and reducing vendor lock-in.
