At a glance
- Trigger
- A new image arrives in [media library or folder], or once a week.
- Goal
- Every new image without alt text has a draft of one factual sentence that describes its content and purpose on the page.
- Check
- No alt text starts with "Image of", and none claims anything that cannot be seen in the image. People are not judged by their appearance.
- Stop condition
- All new images are done.
- Approval
- Yes. The loop enters nothing. A person checks the drafts and applies them.
- Memory
- Time of the last run and the list of images already done.
Template to copy
Copy the template into your assistant or into the description of your automation. Only adjust the parts in square brackets.
- Find the new images since the last run that have no alt text.
- Look at each image and the page it appears on, and consider what purpose it serves there.
- Write one factual sentence. Mark purely decorative images as decorative.

Building blocks
A loop uses skills, agents and prompts. Add the matching skills so every round follows the same instructions.
Where the loop runs
Chat assistant with a schedule
ChatGPT offers scheduled tasks, Gemini offers schedules. Simple scheduled loops run there without other tools. Availability depends on plan and region.
No-code automation
In n8n, Make or Zapier you build trigger, AI step, check and approval as a workflow. n8n has its own evaluations for this.
n8n · Make · Zapier Agents
Coding agents
Claude Code has commands for interval loops, goal-based loops and scheduled routines. Codex has goals with a budget, Cursor has Automations on a schedule or event.
Vendors change features and plans often. The vendor's help page is what counts.
Keep an eye on costs
Every round uses compute. Subscriptions often have usage limits; with API access you pay per request. Limit the number of rounds and calculate beforehand.
Common mistakes
- No stop condition: the loop keeps running and uses compute without ever finishing.
- No real check: the assistant reports success although nobody looked.
- Too much freedom: the loop sends or changes something you wanted to see first.
