**What is a routine?**

A routine is recurring work the team runs on a schedule — set it up once and a Task Card appears in your feed each time it runs. You manage all routines in Settings > Routines.

**How do I set one up?**

Tell Astra in the CEO chat: "Every Monday morning, summarize last week's revenue" or "Daily, scan our top three competitors for pricing changes." She confirms and creates the routine.

**What's the difference between a routine and a one-off task?**

A task is one-off work you ask for. A routine runs on its own schedule. Both produce a Task Card and both charge for the work done. You can pause or delete routines from Settings > Routines or by telling Astra.
