While I sleep, my AI bots run scheduled jobs. One night (24 Sep, 9 PM to 9:30 AM) they finished 39 runs.
What runs overnight
Mailbox checks through the night
The Upwork job board
A 4 AM workout card
A 9 AM cold email campaign report
How it's scheduled
Bot jobs: each bot is a Hermes Agent profile with its own scheduled jobs. A job is a prompt plus a schedule, and the result goes to that bot's own Telegram chat.
Machine jobs: the Mac Studio runs the rest itself as LaunchAgents: backups, cleanups, and watchdogs that restart anything that stops.
The rules that keep it safe
Every job reports into its own chat, so one glance shows what ran.
Anything that failed says so at the top of the report.
Nothing goes to a customer without my OK. The bots draft; I approve.
Start small
Pick one thing you check every morning (inbox, leads, a report) and make that your first overnight job. Add the next one only after the first has run cleanly for a week.
