Project automations let LatchLoop run recurring AI work for a project. You can use them for scheduled reports, routine reviews, or recurring tasks that should be created and built automatically.
Project automations can produce two kinds of output.
Report automations create a markdown report and store it on the automation run.
Use reports for:
Task automations create a new task in the project and start the builder flow.
Use task output for bounded recurring engineering work, such as a scheduled cleanup or recurring review task.
The built-in weekly project report template can inspect recent repository changes and project tasks, then produce a concise markdown status report.
Reports usually include:
You can optionally email a summary of the report to the project owner.
Automation loops can run on these cadences:
Schedules use the selected timezone. The automation scanner runs periodically, so a scheduled automation may run shortly after its configured time rather than at the exact minute.
On each project, you have the ability to turn on auto-merge, where LatchLoop can intelligently review tasks created by your automation loops and merge them for you in order to reduce unnecessary review burden.
The Automations page shows recent runs, statuses, summaries, and report markdown when available.
Any task shown in your task list or activity view will be labeled if it came from an automation that created it.
