Schedules for Managed Deep Agents: Cron jobs, prompts, and Slack delivery

Nathan Drezner from LangChain's product team shows how to add schedules to a Managed Deep Agent, so it can run on a cron and deliver results without anyone asking. He sets up a weekly Salesforce pipeline summary that posts to Slack every Monday, then shows the same agent still answering ad hoc questions the rest of the week.
