My daily job digest sent me the same five jobs for two weeks
His scheduled the AI task crawled job boards against his criteria each morning, but every run started with no memory of the last one, so it proudly sent the same five listings for two weeks. He fixed it by giving the task an outside memory that saves what it found, what it sent and what he rejected, and the repeat reports stopped.
This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.
How it works
- Set a daily task to crawl job boards against his criteria
- Notice the same five listings arriving every morning for two weeks
- Add an outside shared memory to the task
- Each run saves its finds, what it sent and what he rejected
- Later runs read the memory first and only send new matches
Why it’s worth knowing
The task was working exactly as set up. It just had nowhere to keep yesterday.
