How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

When I set up and run a Scheduled Job, I must navigate to the "Tools | Scheduled Jobs" section of the Instance Settings and click on the job to see its output.

Only if I begin interacting with the output via the "Continue in Chat" button does it appear in the Scheduled Jobs Workspace.


UPDATE: I just noticed that today's daily web-summary Scheduled Job output concludes with "Note: This summary has been saved to the 'Scheduled Jobs' workspace under the thread May 30, 2026." ...No, it isn't saved to that or any other Workspace.


Suggest updating the UI so Scheduled Jobs (and chats based on them) appear in the Scheduled Jobs section. Instance Settings should be for Instance Settings, and Workspaces need not be chats only (else you'd just call them Chats-- but you don't, for good reason!).

Are there known steps to reproduce?

  1. Create a Scheduled Job
  2. Let it run, or trigger it manually
  3. Note the output does not appear in the Workspace for Scheduled Jobs. It is buried in the Instance Settings, in the Scheduled Job setup.
  4. Click the "Continue in Chat" button. Note the chat now appears in the Workspace for Scheduled Jobs.

LLM Provider & Model (if applicable)

LM Studio running google/gemma-4-26b-a4b

Embedder Provider & Model (if applicable)

LM Studio running text-embedding-nomic-embed-text-v1.5

This is intentional to isolate the output of jobs from other items since they are not technically chats and in the future are going to be extended into a form that would make them incompatible for chats. The Continue In Chat action is a connivence if the output is something the user wanted to dive deeper on, but it is not intended to be a "chat" like everything else!

UPDATE: I just noticed that today's daily web-summary Scheduled Job output concludes with "Note: This summary has been saved to the 'Scheduled Jobs' workspace under the thread May 30, 2026." ...No, it isn't saved to that or any other Workspace.

This was in the output? This sounds like the model just made something up because the code does not do this - the jobs are ephemeral and are totally disconnected from a workspace entirely! So the jobs cannot mutate workspaces/threads and run in isolation
