The product

Put your best prompts on a dependable schedule.

Tempus turns recurring repository work into a managed product experience. People can create scheduled or on-demand prompts, monitor execution, inspect results, and keep high-value engineering tasks moving without leaving a workstation online.

Capabilities

From prompt definition to observable execution

Schedule

Recurring or on demand

Configure repository prompts to run on a dependable cadence or trigger them immediately when engineering work needs attention.

Observe

Every run in context

Track status, timing, activity, summaries, and repository interactions from a focused run detail experience.

Operate

Cloud-first automation

Keep recurring Copilot workflows running remotely while providing clear controls for pausing, retrying, refreshing, and reviewing outcomes.

Run details

Make agent work understandable

A run view brings configuration, repository activity, results, and the execution timeline together in one place. That makes scheduled automation easier to trust, troubleshoot, and review.

250 engineers

Organization-wide developer tooling

Drove broad adoption across a large engineering organization of 250 people, making cloud-scheduled agent workflows part of everyday development work.

Engineering

Developer experience for agentic workflows

Developer experience

A focused Next.js interface makes recurring automation approachable: search prompts, run work immediately, enable or pause schedules, retry executions, and move from a dashboard summary into detailed diagnostics without losing context.

Developer tooling

Run inputs, prompt configuration, pull-request activity, tool calls, model settings, and execution timelines are collected into one debugging surface for understanding what an agent did and why.

Copilot SDK integration

Agent execution and activity are translated into understandable product interactions instead of exposing developers to raw infrastructure.

Operational visibility

Status, summaries, repository activity, warnings, and timelines make background work inspectable and reduce the time needed to diagnose failed or unexpected runs.
