# Your First Automation Task

Automation is second nature in Web2 (cron jobs, schedulers, CI/CD), but in Web3, it’s still uncommon. Most on-chain functions still need manual input.

* Run smart contract functions on-chain, automatically
* Eliminate reliance on bots or off-chain scripts
* Set time-based triggers and periodic logic
* Save time managing infrastructure
