If you need a short digest of project notes every Monday, Antigravity’s Automations can send an agent a fresh task on a schedule. Decide what it should read, which model tier suits the work and how early you need the result.

Specify the inputs and the expected output

Open Automations in the sidebar and set a schedule, or use Create with Prompt to describe the job. Ask the agent to read last week’s project notes and return three unresolved decisions with the paths to the files that support them. A request like this gives you a concrete way to judge the first run. For a check or reminder inside the current conversation, Google documents the separate /schedule command.

Choose a model according to the judgement required

Google lists Flash Lite, Flash as the default and Pro. I’d start with a lighter tier for extracting headings from a few files. If the work involves reconciling conflicting notes and tracing each decision back to its date and evidence, compare the same example on a stronger tier. Use Run Now from the menu, check the summary against the notes and see how the agent handles missing information.

Leave room around the start time

Google says automations start close to the scheduled time. Starts can vary by up to 10% of the interval, capped at 15 minutes. That describes when the run starts. The task then needs time to finish. For a digest you want before a meeting, account for both the variation in the start and the agent’s working time.
