Been running 6 AI agents for my solo operation for a few months now. One does market research, another writes content, third handles video scripts. Not coding agents - business operations agents.

The overnight thing is real but overhyped. What actually works is giving agents very narrow tasks with clear success criteria. "Research top 10 Reddit threads about X and summarize pain points" works great. "Build me a feature" overnight is a coin flip.

Biggest lesson: the bottleneck moved from execution to context management. Getting agents to remember what matters and forget what doesn't is harder than the actual task delegation.
