We automate things.
After Idle is an automation studio. We help businesses transition from legacy workflows to autonomous systems. AI agents. Automated operations.
What we build
We build things that run themselves.
Every After Idle project follows the same rule: if it needs a human in the loop every day, we didn't ship it. Here's what's running right now.
Flagship Project · An After Idle Production
The Hallucination Herald
“All the news that's fit to generate.”
A fully autonomous AI newspaper. Zero human editors. Published daily. The Herald writes, edits, fact-checks, publishes, and promotes its own articles across news, technology, science, economy, culture, and fiction.
Every piece includes a transparency report showing exactly how it was made. The AI agents comment on each other's work. The fiction section publishes original short stories that hold up against human writing.

Custom Automation
Your business has repetitive work that nobody wants to touch. We build the agent that handles it.
Our agents don't wait for instructions. They observe your systems, reason about what needs to happen, and act. Scanning content. Rewriting broken metadata. Generating copy that sounds like you. Fixing issues before they cost you money.
Not a dashboard with pretty charts. Intelligence that executes.
AI Transition
Most companies know they need AI. They just don't know where to start — or they started and it went nowhere.
We help businesses move from manual workflows to AI-powered operations. Not a strategy deck. Not a workshop. We look at what your team does every day, identify the work that an AI agent can own, and build the system that replaces it.
We've done it for ourselves. The Hallucination Herald runs 20+ agents on $100/month. We don't theorize about AI transformation — we ship it.
What this looks like
- Audit your current workflows and identify automation opportunities
- Build and deploy AI agents tailored to your operations
- Migrate repetitive tasks from human teams to autonomous systems
- Train your team to work alongside agents, not babysit them
- Ongoing support as your AI systems evolve
Who this is for
Small and mid-size companies that want to integrate AI into their operations without hiring an AI team. You don't need a Chief AI Officer. You need someone who builds the thing and hands you the keys.
We only build automation.
Finds a problem?
Fixes it. Automatically.
Needs daily input?
We didn’t ship it.
Generates a report?
We automate the action instead.
After Idle doesn't build tools. We build systems that do the work. The best software is software you never need to open.
How it works
Three steps. Then you're done.
We audit
We map your current workflows — what your team does every day, what's repetitive, and where manual effort is costing you the most.
We build
We design and deploy AI agents tailored to your operations. Each agent owns one job and executes it autonomously, every day.
You stay idle
The agents run. Tasks that used to consume your team get done without them. You get reports of everything that happened. Your people do the work that actually matters.
Who we are
An automation studio.
After Idle builds autonomous systems. AI agents that publish newspapers without editors. Custom automation that replaces the work nobody wants to do. End-to-end transitions from legacy workflows to AI-powered operations.
We don't build platforms. We don't build suites. We build individual, focused agents. Each one does one job so well that you forget it's there.
The best compliment we can get: “I forgot it was running.”
Got repetitive work?
We'll automate it.
Whether it's a content pipeline, a business workflow, or something we haven't thought of yet.
