AIVA for Loops
Set it once.It just keeps happening.
Loops are AIVA’s recurring schedules — morning briefs, weekly wrap-ups, periodic checks. Describe them in plain language; AIVA handles the cron, the timezone, and what to do when your Mac was asleep.
What AIVA can do
Concrete help with Loops.
Schedule in plain language
“Every weekday at 8am, give me a morning brief.” No cron syntax — AIVA interprets it, sets it up, and confirms exactly what it heard.
Choose how you’re notified
Alert (a notification you’ll see) or Silent (runs in the background and stashes the result in AIVA’s apps without buzzing you).
Handle missed runs
If your Mac was asleep, AIVA either catches up on wake or skips to the next occurrence — your choice, set when you create the loop.
Respect your timezone
Every loop records the timezone it runs in. Travel doesn’t break your schedules unless you want it to.
Example prompts
Just say it in plain language.
Every weekday at 8am, give me a morning brief.
Every Friday at 5pm, summarize what I shipped this week.
Every hour during work hours, check for new GitHub issues assigned to me.
Remind me Sunday at 9pm to plan the week.
Show me my schedules.
Move the morning brief to 7:30 and make it silent.

Permission model
You stay in control of every consequential action.
Read-only work happens silently. Anything that changes the world waits for your approval — and destructive actions always ask prominently.
Common workflows
How people put it to work.
Morning brief
A daily loop that reads your overnight mail, calendar, and tasks and hands you a single ranked digest.
Weekly wrap-up
Every Friday, AIVA summarizes what shipped, what slipped, and what’s queued for next week.
Background pre-work
Silent loops do research and prep ahead of time and stash it in AIVA’s apps, ready when you need it.
Without your approval, AIVA won’t
No surprises.
These never happen on their own. AIVA drafts and asks; you decide.
- Take a consequential action (send, post, create) inside a loop — the action still asks
- Run destructive operations on a schedule
Local-first notes
Your data, on your machine.
Loops run on your Mac; AIVA’s slow heartbeat checks for due work without making noise.
The Loops app is read-only — you create and change schedules by talking to AIVA.
Missed-run handling defaults to “skip” so you’re not greeted by a backlog after sleep.

Built-in app
AIVA for Calendar
Beyond your Google Calendar, AIVA keeps its own event timeline — the things it’s tracking on your behalf — with categories, statuses, notifications, and links to the contacts and tasks each event belongs to.
Core feature
AIVA for Memory
A normal chatbot forgets when you close the tab. AIVA keeps four kinds of memory — durable facts, workflow recipes, live context, and behavior rules — so it knows you, gets faster over time, and never makes you repeat yourself.
Connected app
AIVA for Gmail
AIVA reads the threads that matter, drafts replies in your voice, tracks the promises buried in your email, and follows up so nothing quietly dies in your inbox. It only sends after you say so.
