Cloud-bot routines

A cloud-bot routine sends a saved prompt to a NockBot at a time or interval you choose. The bot replies in its own cloud conversation. It is separate from desktop routines, which depend on your local Nock app and computer being available.

Set a routine

In the bot’s cloud conversation, ask Nock to schedule a specific task and say when it should run. Review the routine details the bot proposes before confirming. You can ask the bot to list, edit, disable, run, or remove its routines. Check the bot’s routine list for the current schedule and last-run result.

Set a schedule that fits the task and review the proposed cadence before confirming. Nock applies fair-use protections to scheduled work; if a run is delayed or unavailable, check the bot’s routine status rather than assuming it completed.

Plans and costs

Cloud routines are scheduled prompts for eligible NockBot cloud bots. Cloud bots are a Beta feature on Nock Pro and higher; routines use that same cloud-bot entitlement rather than a separate plan feature. Nock Own, Free, and the Nock trial do not include cloud bots or their routines.

A routine run can wake the cloud computer. A bot can use an eligible managed model route or your own saved provider key. Your provider bills calls made with your key; cloud-computer hosting and resources remain subject to separate Nock fair-use protections. Higher plans provide more room.
