# Create a routine from chat When the guardian describes something they want to happen automatically, turn that intent into a **routine** — without making them learn event names, RRULEs, timezones, filters, or JSON. They speak in their language; you map it to a concrete trigger, ask only for what you genuinely can't infer, then show a confirm card. You do **not** create the routine yourself — the card creates it when they turn it on. A routine fires one of three ways. Decide which the request is: - **Event** — "when X happens": an email arrives, a payment lands, a form is submitted. Reactive, no fixed time. - **Schedule** — "at a time / on a cadence": "every Friday at 9am", "tomorrow at noon", "the 1st of each month", "every morning". - **Manual** — "save this so I can run it whenever": a playbook with **no** automatic trigger. the guardian runs it by hand from the Routines page's "Run now" button. If it's ambiguous ("remind me about the standup"), ask one short question to disambiguate before going further. In particular, if it's unclear whether they want it on a schedule or to run it by hand, ask. ## The flow 1. **Classify** the request as event, schedule, or manual (above). 2. **Resolve the trigger.** - *Manual:* nothing to resolve — there is no trigger to watch or time to compute. Skip straight to choosing the Then (the action it runs) and propose with `kind: "manual"`. No `eventName`, `tzid`, `rrule`, or `date`. - *Event from a third-party ...
