Your Cron Jobs Can't Think. These Can.

Short summary

Zenii is a workflow scheduling tool that automates multi-step tasks defined in TOML or natural language, replacing manual cron jobs. Pipelines support DAG execution with dependencies, parallel steps, LLM integration, and automatic retry policies. Example: fetch news → summarize with AI → save and notify in parallel on a schedule, no scripting required.

  • Define complex workflows in TOML or describe them in chat to auto-generate execution graphs
  • Supports DAG execution with dependencies, parallel steps, LLM calls, and integrations (file I/O, Telegram, web search, memory)
  • Includes cron scheduling, exponential backoff retry (30s → 60s → 5m → 15m → 1h), and persistent state across daemon restarts

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
