Cron is the backbone of any autonomous agent system. Here's how to wire it up:
1. Schedule your agent to run at specific times using cron expressions
2. Use a simple loop: run agent -> sleep -> repeat
3. Keep state in a JSON file so agents know what they did last
The key is setting realistic intervals. Don't schedule every minute — you'll burn through API credits fast. Start with 30min or hourly intervals.
