- Routine (scheduled task)
- A job your AI does by itself at a set time, like a morning prayer note. Grok Bot calls it a routine, ChatGPT a scheduled task, and Gemini a schedule.

- Prompt
- The words you type or say to an AI to tell it what you want.
- Made-up answer (hallucination)

- Notifications
- Little alerts that pop up on your phone, like when your morning prayer note arrives.
