About Ai Night Shift
AI Night Shift is an open source framework from Judy AI Lab for running several AI agents in coordinated autonomous sessions during off hours, so that coding, research and content work continues while you sleep. Rather than a single agent working alone, it orchestrates different agents with defined roles that communicate through shared protocols: a file based message queue, a shared chat log and task board integration.
It is aimed at developers and small teams already using Claude Code and command line agents who want structured overnight runs. In the default layout a developer agent on Claude Code handles coding, debugging and deploying in continuous sessions lasting hours, a researcher agent on Gemini CLI runs periodic patrols for research, data gathering and triage, and a coordinator on any model handles task routing and monitoring on a 30 minute heartbeat, with an OpenClaw module for that pattern. The project includes plugin hooks that run before, after and during tasks, a visual monitoring dashboard, and four prompt templates for development, research, content and related work. Installation is a clone and an install script, a config file sets the options, a single round test verifies the setup, and the installer schedules runs with cron.
The framework is free under the MIT license. Running it consumes whatever subscriptions or API usage the underlying agents require, billed by those providers.
Judy AI Lab itself is a Chinese language blog on AI engineering, automation and quantitative crypto trading; the framework's documentation is also available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.
