Autopilot

Invest a set amount on a schedule, inside four hard limits you set and can stop by saying so.

Autopilot invests a set amount on a schedule you choose, and it cannot step outside four limits you set in advance. It is the one part of Monvera that acts without asking you each time — which is exactly why the limits are hard, checked before every single run, and revocable the moment you say stop.

You

Invest $20 a week for me

Vera

$20 weekly. What’s the most you’ll let it spend in total, and how bold should the plans be?

You

Cap it at $500, keep it moderate

Vera

$20 a week, moderate risk, stopping at $500 total. Authorize it and the first run is next Monday.

The four limits

Autopilot checks all four before every run and skips the run rather than break any of them.

Limit	What it does	Example
Amount per run	The most it may spend each time. No run goes above it.	$20
Cadence	How often it runs. It never runs more often than this.	Once a week
Risk ceiling	The most risk you accept. Vera assesses each scheduled plan, and a plan above your ceiling is skipped, not trimmed.	Moderate
Total spend cap	The most it may ever invest across all runs. On reaching it, Autopilot stops itself.	$500

Because all four are checked every time, Autopilot cannot quietly spend more, run more often, run longer, or take more risk than you allowed. The worst case is that it does nothing.

Turning it on

Say what you want — “invest $20 a week for me” — and Vera asks for whatever she still needs, then opens Autopilot with your numbers filled in. You read them and authorize once. That authorization is the standing permission that lets scheduled runs happen without your signature each week; it is bounded by the four limits above and by nothing else.

The amount per run decides how many names you get. There is no minimum order, but each company in a plan is placed as its own transaction, so a $20 run sensibly buys one or two names rather than six tiny slices. If you want a genuinely diversified basket every run, set the per-run amount higher.

What each run does

The scheduled time arrives and Autopilot asks Vera for a plan for the amount per run.
Vera builds the basket and assesses its risk, exactly as she does when you ask for a plan yourself.
Autopilot checks the four limits. If the risk is above your ceiling or the spend cap is reached, it skips the run and records why.
If every limit passes, it invests, and Vera’s signed risk assessment goes on-chain with the trade — same accountability as a plan you confirm by hand.

Checking on it

“Is Autopilot on?” gets you the current state: your four limits, when the next run is due, how much has been spent against the cap, and the history of past runs with their dates, amounts, and baskets. Skipped runs appear too, with the reason, so a quiet week is never a mystery.

Changing it, and stopping it

“Make it $50 a month instead” or “lower the cap to $200” updates the limits from that point on. Past runs are unchanged. Setting the spend cap below what has already been invested stops future runs, since the total is already at the cap.

“Stop Autopilot” ends it. That revokes the standing permission, so no further run can happen — not paused, revoked. Stopping does not sell anything: everything Autopilot bought stays yours, and you can sell it or take it out whenever you like. You can turn Autopilot back on later by setting limits and authorizing again.
