How it works: AI + Air Explorer command line + Task Scheduler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Air Explorer AI Skill<\/a> is built on the open Agent Skills<\/strong> standard (SKILL.md) and gives your local AI assistant full control of Air Explorer’s command line ( The magic happens when you add a third ingredient: the Windows Task Scheduler<\/strong>. Your AI assistant runs locally on your PC, which means it can not only execute Air Explorer commands but also create scheduled tasks ( Before anything else, make sure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then open Air Explorer and go to Tools \u2192 AI Skills<\/strong> and choose Install in Claude Code<\/em>, Install in ChatGPT<\/em> or Install in Antigravity<\/em>. Restart your assistant and verify everything works by asking: “List my Air Explorer accounts.”<\/strong> The assistant will run Now describe the backup. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Mirror my local folder C:\\Work\\Project to the Project folder of mydrive.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The assistant will propose a safe dry-run first:<\/p>\n\n\n\n After showing you what would change (uploads, updates, deletions), it runs the real sync with hash verification and a report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prefer a backup that never deletes files on the destination? Just say so \u2014 the assistant will use MirrorUpdate<\/strong> or Update<\/strong> instead of Mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you already have a saved synchronization in Air Explorer (say, NightlyBackup<\/em>), it’s even simpler:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Run my saved sync called NightlyBackup.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Here’s where automation happens. Because the assistant can execute local commands, you can simply ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Schedule this sync to run every day at 2:00 AM using the Windows Task Scheduler.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The assistant will create a scheduled task equivalent to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want something more sophisticated? Ask in natural language:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The AI builds the command, registers the task, and confirms the result \u2014 you never touch Automated backups are only trustworthy if you can verify them. Air Explorer’s command line returns clear exit codes that a scheduled script or the assistant itself can check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Combine this with the The AI Skill is designed with guardrails: the assistant asks for confirmation before deleting or overwriting anything, warns you that cloud deletions may be permanent depending on the provider, and never sees your cloud passwords \u2014 it works with the accounts you already signed into inside Air Explorer. For destructive sync modes like Mirror, it will always propose a With Air Explorer’s AI Skill, automating cloud backups no longer requires batch files, cron-like syntax or Task Scheduler wizardry. A single natural-language conversation takes you from “back up this folder to that cloud”<\/em> to a scheduled, monitored, report-generating backup that runs every night while you sleep. Install the skill from Tools \u2192 AI Skills<\/strong>, describe your backup, and let the AI handle You can check more information here:<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AirExplorerCmd.exe<\/code>). Among the commands it can build for you, two are the backbone of any backup strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
startsync<\/code><\/strong> \u2014 runs an ad-hoc synchronization between a local folder and a cloud folder (or between clouds), with modes like Mirror<\/em>, MirrorUpdate<\/em> or Update<\/em>, hash comparison and HTML reports.<\/li>\n\n\n\nrunsavedsync<\/code><\/strong> \u2014 executes a synchronization you have already created and saved in Air Explorer’s scheduler module, with all its filters and options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nschtasks<\/code>) that launch those commands on a daily, weekly or custom schedule. You just have to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Automate](\"https:\/\/www.airexplorer.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/ia01.png\")
