Abstract
The present technology pertains to a system for generating automations based on a request/prompt from a user to a language model. The language model receives a prompt in a conversation thread with a user. When the prompt includes a request for a delayed action (i.e., an automation), the request is forwarded to an automations engine, which determines the delayed action from an action component of the request and a time at which to perform the delayed action from a temporal component of the request. A scheduling instruction based on the determined time is sent to a scheduler, which signals when the time occurs, triggering the automations engine to perform the delayed action, for example, by acting as the user's delegate and sending a delayed prompt to the language model to elicit a response and amending part or all of the resulting conversation to the conversation thread with the user.
