Most AI agents call the model on every single step, so leaving them running gets expensive fast. I wanted agents I could leave on overnight without watching the bill, so I built ode. How it stays cheap: when an agent does the same steps again and again, it writes a small script once and reruns it with no AI call. The agent only wakes up when something actually needs judgement. You give an agent a job once, in plain words. It runs in the cloud on the schedule you set, works in your own apps, and keeps going while you sleep. For everyday use - Sort your inbox every morning, filter out bills from noise - Watch your calendar and remind you what needs prep - Keep a page of prices, news or anything you track up to date For developers - Watch your repos and tell you when a PR or release needs you - Point your server logs or CI at an agent; it checks them for free and only wakes up when something looks wrong - Store API and SSH keys in a vault so agents can check your servers without ever seeing the keys It asks first. Every send, post or delete is a card you approve, and you can pause any agent at any time. I'm looking for honest reviews. What worked, what broke, what felt confusing.
