Most agent frameworks still expect you to stay in the loop (approve tool calls, review diffs, restart things when they stall). I’ve been trying a few approaches that try to reduce that.
In my opinion the closest current options are:
- GitHub Agentic Workflows – agents that live inside Actions and can handle recurring repo tasks with guardrails
- OpenClaw – more of a personal agent harness, strong multi-channel support
- Hermes – leans into self-improvement over longer periods of use
- Aeon – runs entirely on GitHub Actions, keeps persistent memory + a simple strategy file, and has a basic self-repair loop for skills that keep failing. Public repos get free minutes so infra cost is basically zero.
Curious what people here are actually using for long-running or recurring agent work. Any other projects in this space that feel more solid?
