# Jobs

> Run agent work in the background or on a schedule. Use the same agent identity, permissions, connections, limits, and proof when work continues outside the chat.

A job is agent work that keeps running after you leave. It runs as the same agent, under the same permissions, with the same connected apps.

Jobs are included with [Pro](/pricing).

## Start a job

  <Step title="Describe the work">
    Choose **New job** and write what the agent should do.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick when it runs">
    Run it once now, or put it on a schedule.

| Custom                    | On a cron schedule                                                   |

## What a job uses

* The agent's identity and current permissions
* Apps linked in [Connections](/connections)
* The agent's skills and selected context
* The agent's spend and action limits

Before a job starts, Proofable flags setup it is likely to need, such as a missing key or connection.

## Approvals

When a run reaches an action that needs approval, it waits. Approve to continue, or deny to stop the run.

## Receipts

Completed runs keep a receipt: a proof of what the job did. Open it from the run.

## Manage runs

Cancel a run to stop it and keep the receipt. Remove a run only when you want to delete that receipt. Stop a recurring schedule, or queue a run again from the job.

## Sell a job

List an AI service built on a job. Placeholders in the job become buyer inputs, and buyers connect their own apps at checkout. [Create a listing](https://proofable.me/profile/portals/new)
