Your agent works
while you sleep.
Hand off the busywork to an autonomous AI agent. Wake up to replies sent, reports drafted, and pipelines green.
Nothing in this state moves until you say so.
A sample night from the Nightjar demo workspace — not a customer record, and not an average.
21:40
Orders
You write the orders. It works the shift.
Standing orders are plain English, not a workflow builder. Write the sentence you would say to a competent new hire on their first afternoon, set the fences once, and you are done. Access is granted per verb, not per app: it can read your mail and draft in it without ever being able to send to a stranger.
- Clear the inbox to under 10. Draft replies, send only the safe ones.
- Keep the pipeline green — rerun failed jobs twice, wake me on the third.
- Reconcile invoices and flag anything over $250.
- Write the Monday report from last week's numbers.

Plan
Every job gets a plan you can read in ten seconds.
Before it touches anything, it writes the plan out in steps you can read in ten seconds, and marks the step where it will stop and ask you. Every step carries the reason it exists, so a plan is checkable rather than impressive.

Run
Then it works the hours you can’t.
It works for hours without you — retrying what fails, backing off when a service throttles it, and stopping cold at the line you drew. Nothing is being decided on your behalf: the transcript is written the whole time, so a step that could not finish becomes a line in the morning rather than a guess at 03:00.

The log
One night, in lines.
Nothing here is a summary. This is the shape of a real night: a few hundred small, boring, timestamped actions, each one attributable to an order you wrote. The reason it is worth reading once is that you will never read it again.

Handoff
You wake up to a report, not a mess.
At 07:00 it stops and writes one page: what it finished, the short list that needs you, and the part nobody else shows you — what it deliberately did not do.

Limits
What it will never do.
An agent that can do anything is an agent you have to sit and watch. Most of these are enforced in the product rather than promised in the documentation, which means Nightjar cannot be talked into them at three in the morning by a cleverly worded email.
—
It will not move money.
No transfers, no payments, no card details. It can flag an invoice; you pay it.
—
It will not sign anything.
Contracts, terms and legal documents are escalated, never executed.
—
It will not contact someone you have not approved.
Outbound is limited to recipients already in your approved set.
—
It will not delete.
Archiving and closing are reversible. Deletion is not, so it is off by default and cannot be switched on for mail or CRM.
—
It will not widen its own access.
A new verb needs you awake. It asks once, in the morning report, never at 03:00.
—
It will not act on a rule it half-understands.
Ambiguous orders are held and quoted back to you rather than guessed at.
—
It will not work the day shift unless you say so.
Quiet hours are the default. It sleeps while you work.

Your move
Hand off the night.
Keep the morning.
Start with one standing order and one shadow night — it runs without touching anything and shows you what it would have done. If the report is not worth reading, cancel before the second night.
