Schedules and Watchlist are Compound’s automation surfaces. Schedules run a prompt on a cadence — daily, weekly, or once at a specific time. Watchlist tracks companies so a new earnings transcript can trigger an analysis without you having to remember to run it. Each run lands as a normal chat in the Drive you picked.

Both live in the left sidebar.

Schedules

A Schedule pairs a prompt with a cadence. The agent runs the prompt on schedule, produces an analysis (and any files it creates along the way), and the result lands as a chat in the Drive you selected when you created the Schedule.

Create a Schedule

Open Schedules

Click Schedules in the sidebar.

Click New Schedule

The New Schedule form opens. Give the Schedule a name and write the prompt the agent should run.

Pick the Drive

Under Drive, choose where the resulting chats should land. The picker lists every Drive you can write to.

Set the timing

Under Timing, pick a cadence:

One time — runs once at a specific date and time.
Daily — runs every day at the time you specify.
Weekdays only — runs Monday through Friday at the time you specify.
Weekly — runs once a week on a chosen day.
Monthly — runs once a month on a chosen date.

Click Create Schedule

The Schedule is saved and starts running on its next scheduled time.

Edit, pause, or delete a Schedule

From the Schedules page, click any Schedule to edit the prompt, change the cadence, or use Pause to stop it. Paused Schedules stay on the list with a Resume button; nothing runs until you re-enable them. To remove a Schedule entirely, use Delete Schedule.

Watchlist

A Watchlist tracks companies so Compound can react to events that matter to you — most commonly, a new earnings transcript dropping. You add companies, and Compound monitors them in the background.

Add a company

Click Watchlist in the sidebar, then Add Company. Search for the company by ticker or name and add it to your Watchlist.

Trigger an analysis on a new transcript

When you add a Watchlist item, you can attach a prompt that runs automatically whenever a new earnings transcript for that company is detected. The prompt triggers within 8 hours of a new earnings transcript being available.

Useful patterns:

“Summarize the call in three bullets. Flag any guidance changes vs the prior quarter.”
“Pull the headline KPIs from the transcript and the supplementary deck into a comparison sheet.”
“Compare management’s tone on margins to last quarter — be explicit about anything that changed.”

The resulting analysis lands as a new chat in the Drive you selected.
