What You’ll Build

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have an agent that searches for news and emails you a daily summary. The same process works for any task—data syncing, monitoring, reports, or anything else you want to automate. Example result: Every morning at 8am, you receive an email with the top 5 AI news stories from the past 24 hours.

​
Before You Start

​
Steps

1

Create your agent

From the homepage, type what you want to automate in the input field:
Every morning, search for AI news from the last 24 hours and email me a summary of the top 5 stories.
Click Create. This opens your agent workspace.
2

Review the workspace

Your workspace has two sides:
  • Left panel: Chat with Incredible. This is where you refine your task and make changes.
  • Right panel: Your agent’s current configuration—the task description, connected apps, and controls.
Incredible has already interpreted your request and set up the initial configuration.
3

Refine with Incredible

Incredible may ask clarifying questions:
  • “What email address should I send to?”
  • “Any specific sources you want me to check?”
Answer in the chat. Incredible updates your agent automatically.You can also ask for changes:
  • “Add a summary of competitor news too”
  • “Send to Slack instead of email”
  • “Run at 7am instead”
4

Connect your apps

If your agent needs apps you haven’t connected yet, Incredible will prompt you.Click the app name to connect. You’ll sign in once—Incredible remembers your connection for future agents.
For this example: The built-in Web Search and Email features don’t require app connections. You can test immediately.
5

Test your agent

Click the Play button (▶️ in the topbar, right side) to run your agent now.Watch it work:
  • You’ll see each step as it executes
  • Search results appear as the agent finds them
  • The final email is composed and sent
Check your inbox to verify the result.
6

Set up a schedule

Click Add Trigger (⚡ in the topbar) and select Schedule.Configure when your agent runs:
  • Frequency: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly
  • Time: 8:00 AM (or your preferred time)
  • Timezone: Auto-detected, or select manually
  • Days: For weekly schedules, select which days to run
The schedule saves automatically as you configure it.
7

Enable your schedule

Click Enable to activate your schedule. Your agent will now run automatically at the configured time.You’ll see a blue schedule indicator in the topbar showing when the next run occurs.
To stop automatic runs, return to the schedule settings and click Disable or Remove schedule.
