Your Always-On AI Chief of Staff: The Architecture

The machine: an always-on computer or small server, auto-restart, keep-awake.

What it covers

• The machine: an always-on computer or small server, auto-restart, keep-awake.
• The brain: scheduled jobs, prompt-only scheduled tasks, and standalone agents.
• Memory in layers: identity and rules, business context, daily logs, small "already processed" state files, weekly cleanup.
• Inputs and output channels; one place where every agent reports.
• Guardrails and monitoring (builds on 5.3 and 5.4).
• Honest lessons: what was retired and why.

What you'll build

A written architecture for your own system, then stand up the first two jobs.
