A day on my home computer — how 20 AI workers spend their shifts
Summary in three lines
- Work runs while I sleep because AI workers follow a timetable: fixed tasks at fixed times beat one smart AI.
- The day runs 6:00 content check, 6:40 topic scoring, 7:00 draft prefill, 8:00 success and failure report, daytime order paperwork, a 17:00 relay for Instagram posts and a 22:00 wrap-up check.
- It did not start with 20. It began with one worker preparing blog drafts and grew one at a time, with a small always-on computer covering the night shift.
What we learned
- A worker that says it failed is far better than a silent one. Have it report failures openly, including how many days in a row.
- Hand AI the single most tedious daily task first, then add the next one once that works.
FAQ
How do you avoid publishing the same post twice?
Before filling a draft, the worker checks whether it is already published and skips it if so. Preventing duplicates is part of its job.
What about platforms that do not allow automatic publishing?
For those, drafts are prepared in advance and the evening check reminds a person to press publish the next day. The final click stays human.
