# Niyra works while you sleep


There's stuff you do every day that takes 15 minutes but adds up to hours. Niyra does it for you.

## What it looks like

You tell her once:
> "Every weekday at 9am, send me a brief with today's calendar, top 5 unread emails, and any market news on TSLA or GOOGL."

She confirms:
> "Got it. I'll send a brief every Mon-Fri at 9am IST to your chat. Want it on WhatsApp too?"

Then it just happens. Every morning. Forever, or until you cancel.

## What you can schedule

**Daily**
- Morning brief (calendar + inbox + news)
- End-of-day recap
- Health check-in
- Stock price digest

**Weekly**
- Investor update draft
- Team standup summary
- Spending review
- Calendar tetris ("here's what next week looks like")

**Monthly**
- Subscription audit
- Portfolio rebalance check
- Reminder cadence reviews

**Conditional**
- "If my portfolio drops more than 3% in a day, text me."
- "When my flight to Bangalore confirms, add it to calendar and remind me 24h before."
- "If anyone emails me with 'urgent' in the subject after 9pm, push to my phone."

## How it works under the hood

Niyra's CronService parses your natural-language schedule into a cron expression, stores it tagged to your user ID and the agent + tools needed, and wakes a job runner at the right time. The runner spins up a Niyra session, runs your prompt, and delivers the result to your chosen channel.

If you're on Pro Plus or Alpha, the runner uses a dedicated always-on machine. If you're on Pro, the runner wakes on a shared machine — first request adds ~1s of cold-start latency, then warm.

## What automation is *not*

This isn't Zapier. Niyra doesn't connect Service A to Service B with a triggered action — she does a task, the same way you'd do it. The brief isn't a template, it's actually her looking at your data right now.

## Limits

- Cron resolution: 1 minute (no sub-minute schedules).
- Standard plan caps at 5 simultaneous scheduled tasks.
- Pro / Alpha: unlimited.
