I Set Up 12 AI Scripts That Run While I Sleep — Here's What They Actually Do

Everyone talks about AI agents. Most people run them once, manually, during business hours.

I run 12 of them. 24/7. On a MacBook. While I sleep.

Here's what each one actually does — no hype, just the real output.

1. Crypto Price Monitor ($0 cost)

Checks SOL and BTC every 5 minutes. If either moves 5%+, fires a Telegram alert to my phone.

Real output: Caught a 7% SOL drop at 3am last week. Woke up to an alert, not a surprise.

Want the same alerts? NAPTiON Crypto Alerts — $9/mo, just connect your Telegram.

2. Stripe Sales Monitor ($0 cost)

Polls Stripe API every 60 seconds. New payment? Instant Telegram notification with amount and customer email.

Real output: Know within 60 seconds of every sale. No need to check Stripe dashboard.

3. Memory Pipeline ($0 cost)

Every 10 minutes:

  • Extracts last 50 messages from AI session logs
  • Local Llama 3.2 1B categorizes each entry
  • Files to project-specific markdown files
  • Rebuilds brain-index.md

Real output: AI agents that actually remember what happened last session.

4. Trading Bot ($0 cost)

Momentum strategy on Kraken:

  • 20-period SMA for entry signals
  • 5% hard stop-loss
  • 10% take-profit
  • Every trade logged + Telegram alert

Real output: Autonomous trading that runs whether I'm awake or not.

5. Content Publisher ($0 cost)

Every 6 hours:

  • Picks a topic from templates
  • Brave Search for context
  • Llama writes the article
  • Dev.to API publishes it

Real output: Technical articles appearing on Dev.to while I sleep.

6. GitHub Outreach ($0 cost)

Every 4 hours:

  • Brave Search finds relevant GitHub issues
  • Llama drafts a helpful comment
  • GitHub API posts it

Real output: Building presence on GitHub repos in our niche.

7-12. Supporting Cast

  • Wallet Watch: SOL balance every 5min
  • Gmail Leads: Auto-replies to website inquiries every 15min
  • Blog Generator: SEO posts daily
  • OpenClaw Watch: Monitors upstream repo for changes every 6hr
  • Evolution Scout: Self-improvement suggestions
  • Reply Watch: Monitors for mentions
