Vacation Cover
Vacation coverage that runs to your rules: inbox triage inside the envelope you set, a holding reply and a tidy queue for everything else, escalation to your named backup for anything over threshold. A check-in ping on your cadence keeps it live, and two missed check-ins drop it to draft only until the owner is back.

Keeps its own workspace
The agent maintains a persistent workspace between runs, so context carries forward instead of starting from scratch every time.
- 01Who you are, your business, trip dates, and delivery channel
- 02Your rules of engagement: what the cover handles alone, thresholds, what always escalates, and the check-in cadence
Deploy this template and Qoren provisions a dedicated, managed cloud environment: no Docker, VPS, or server upkeep. Tailor the persona, schedules, and tools, use the managed model key or bring your own, and the agent stays online with activity, usage, and spend in one dashboard.
