Some automations can also return to the same conversation and continue from the context already there. That is especially useful when you want Codex to pick up an ongoing task instead of starting fresh each time.

Every Monday morning, return to this conversation and help me plan the week based on my current notes, drafts, and priorities.

Every Friday, review my recent work and write a short summary of what I finished this week, what is still open, and what needs attention next.

Note: If you’re running Codex locally, automations work best when your laptop is awake and Codex is running.
