Scheduled, unattended coding agents
Your AI coding team runs the night shift.
Schedule Claude Code and Codex on the subscriptions you already pay for. They run unattended within a budget cap; you triage everything from one inbox.

HOW IT WORKS
Configure once. It runs itself — and stops when it shouldn't.
workflow.diff— the shift in one read
-chat with an agent, watch it think, repeat
+configure automations → they run themselves → you observe & steer
01
SCHEDULE
An objective, a cadence, a budget cap.
02
RUN
Your local, already-authenticated CLI runs non-interactively.
03
SUMMARIZE
A plain-language summary lands in your inbox.
04
DECIDE
It runs the next step — or escalates to you.
Credentials never leave your machine. Deterministic guardrails — budget caps, repeated failures, risky steps — pause the loop before it does damage and hand you a one-line steer. You only pay for the credits you use.
