I have searched the existing issues and discussions.

Problem Description

I see a lot of request about cleanup and sanity check tasks which should run in the background.
With the introduction of the new Projects-like Folders I came up with the idea of perodically search through the conversations and automatically extract knowledge from it.
Also a Auto Memory Filter would benefit from calling it perodically for entire conversation history instead of every message, like a filter function does.
Another cool feature would be scheduled and/or repeated promts with tool use (like get the newest issues in my Jira and remind my Team in Slack to write me a status).

Desired Solution you'd like

I would like to propose a new kind of Function: Scheduled Background Tasks. It would fit nicely in the plugin ecosystem of openwebui, closing a gap to tools like n8n.
