Summary
Creator Magic host Mike walks through building AI agents that run continuously around the clock using Tank, an open-source AI coding orchestration system he developed to manage multiple AI coding agents — including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and xAI’s Grok — from a single interface running inside tmux terminals.
The tutorial centers on Tank’s newly released scheduled-task feature, which lets users configure cron-style jobs that trigger AI agents at set intervals without manual intervention. Mike demonstrates creating a scheduled agent that searches the Anthropic subreddit every hour and returns the top three post summaries — walking through task naming, timezone configuration, and writing natural-language instructions rather than code. He also highlights Tank’s new automatic database backups and PI agent support, and notes that Claude Code’s Fable 5 model has been temporarily restored on paid plans through July 12.
The broader use cases Mike describes range from content research (monitoring Reddit topics for a livestreamer) to health data aggregation (parsing Garmin wearable exports), eBay price tracking, and forum trend analysis. He positions Tank as the layer that replaced his previous setup of multiple VPS servers running separate agent instances, consolidating Claude Code, Codex, Grok Composer 2.5, and Google’s Antigravity into one local environment. The session is a practical entry point for builders who want persistent background agents without managing cloud infrastructure directly.
