The right schedule in AIDular depends on how fast your topic changes. Pick daily for fast-moving news, weekly for most topics, and monthly for slow trends or big-picture research.
Getting this wrong is one of the most common mistakes new users make. Set everything to daily and your inbox turns into a flood. Set everything to monthly and you miss something important three weeks ago. This guide helps you get it right.
Why Your Schedule Choice Matters
AIDular searches the web on your chosen schedule and emails you a clean, sourced report. The schedule controls how often that search runs. A topic that changes every few hours needs a different cadence than one that shifts slowly over months.
Think of it this way: you would check a live sports score every few minutes, a concert lineup every week or two, and interest rate trends maybe once a month. Your AIDular schedule should follow that same logic.
The Three Schedules and When to Use Each
Daily
Use daily for topics where missing a single day could matter.
Good fits:
- Breaking news about a specific company or person
- A product you are waiting to come back in stock
- A developing story (a trial, a political vote, a sports season)
- Cryptocurrency or commodity prices you act on quickly
Avoid daily for broad topics like "technology news" or "health research." You will get a very long report every morning and most of it will not be useful.
Weekly
Weekly is the right default for most people and most topics.
Good fits:
- An industry you want to stay informed about
- A hobby or interest (new gear, community news, events)
- A creator or brand you follow
- Job postings in a specific field
- Research for a school project or work project
Weekly hits the sweet spot. Enough time for real updates to accumulate, not so long that you fall behind.
Monthly
Use monthly for topics that move slowly or where you only need a summary.
Good fits:
- Long-term market or economic trends
- A topic you are casually curious about
- Research you are doing over several months
- Tracking a policy or legislation that updates rarely
Monthly reports are also great for sharing. A clean monthly summary is easy to forward to a teacher, a manager, or a group chat.
A Simple Decision Test
Ask yourself one question: "If something important happens on this topic, how quickly do I need to know?"
- Within 24 hours: pick daily
- Within a week: pick weekly
- Anytime this month: pick monthly
That single question will get you the right answer almost every time.
How to Write Your Prompt to Match Your Schedule
Your prompt and your schedule should work together. A daily prompt should be tight and specific. A monthly prompt can be broader.
Here is a copy-paste example for each:
Daily prompt example:
"Search for any news about [Company Name] published in the last 24 hours. Focus on product launches, executive changes, or major announcements. Keep the report short and factual."
Weekly prompt example:
"Find the top 5 to 10 things that happened in the electric vehicle industry this week. Include new model announcements, policy changes, and notable sales figures. Link sources."
Monthly prompt example:
"Give me a summary of major shifts in remote work trends over the past month. Look for survey data, company policy changes, and expert commentary. Keep it under 400 words."
Notice how the daily prompt says "last 24 hours" and asks for a short report. The monthly prompt asks for a summary and sets a word limit. Matching your language to your schedule helps AIDular return exactly what you need.
One More Tip: You Can Change It
Your schedule is not locked in. If you set something to daily and find you are skimming the emails, switch it to weekly. AIDular makes it easy to adjust at any time. Treat your first schedule choice as a starting point, not a permanent decision.
