Recently, Claude Code introduced Scheduled Tasks.
For regular tasks, they don't make much sense - it's easier to run Claude via cron. What's more interesting is that Claude has started using them itself.
For example, after fixing something and deploying it, it says, "Let me check back in 4 minutes while CI runs," and sets a scheduled task for itself. After 4 minutes, it comes back, checks that everything rolled out fine, and moves on. Awesome.
