# overnight app grinder

an autonomous app builder that runs coding agents overnight while you sleep. cycles through accounts (especially Codex which is free), maintains context, manages sessions, logs roadblocks (especially auth issues) one per line in a text file. when you wake up, fix the blockers and run it again.

the pipeline: feed it an idea, it does research (possibly using Deep Research from GPT/Claude for validation), asks some questions, then starts full end-to-end implementation. because of the autonomous nature, there should always be a backbone/skeleton for whatever is being built, plus high insistence on quality.

this is a meta-tool — it builds the other ideas. connects to the broader AI tooling interest including [[agents-md-research|AGENTS.md optimization research]] and the [[llm-behavior-improvement|LLM behavior improvement]] work.
