# Automation

> Create recurring market monitors with natural language.

Automation turns a plain-language request into a monitor that runs repeatedly. Use it for price and volume conditions, market events, screeners, earnings, and other checks you do not want to repeat manually.

## Create a monitor

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a new automation">Open **Automation**, then select **New automation**. You can also start from an example.</Step>
  <Step title="Describe the condition">Write the request in one sentence. Include the symbol, event or threshold, when it should be checked, and what the notification should contain.</Step>
  <Step title="Create the task">AInvest interprets the request, plans the trigger conditions, and creates the monitor.</Step>
  <Step title="Review the result">Open the monitor to verify its schedule, source, trigger condition, and next run.</Step>
</Steps>

## Manage a monitor

The Automation page shows monitors being created and those currently running. Open a monitor to view the original request, AI-generated condition, and run history. Use the available controls to run it, edit it, change its settings, or stop it.

<Note>
  Each AI run consumes Credits. More frequent monitors can use Credits more quickly.
