Vanilla Brain — Dashboard

Connect an agent

Download the setup file, give it to your AI, and say “set this up.” From then on it remembers — across sessions and machines.

Guided connector and conversation capture setup supports Claude Code and Codex. Other MCP clients can connect manually, but may not support automatic conversation or document capture. The setup file is a small JSON document with a one-time code that expires in 15 minutes. It creates a least-privilege online connector you can revoke below; it never creates a local Brain corpus. Setup guide.

Tokens your model read0

Tokens your model wrote0

These are model-agnostic estimates of the incremental Brain traffic visible to the connector: tool names and arguments the model wrote, plus schemas, results, and errors it read. MCP does not expose the provider’s tokenizer, cached-input accounting, or hidden reasoning tokens, so this is not a provider billing statement. A further 0 tokens (today) came from your capture hook — completed conversations and files sent afterward by the capture hook; this extra transfer added no model tokens.

Night shift

Use Night shift

Uses spare AI capacity to tidy your memory before a weekly usage reset. It never starts an AI by itself.

Connections that can help

Choose which connected AIs may receive cleanup chores. Each selected connection reports its own runtime identity; Brain never asks you to guess a model.

When it runs

Run window From Until

Night shift starts and stops by itself inside this window (your time; it may wrap midnight). Outside it the shift sleeps and no chores are handed out. Queue cleanup now always works. Want it to start with no chat open? Install the autopilot on your computer — it checks in hourly and starts an AI session only when there is work:

curl -fsSLo runner.py
              https://vanillabrain.ai/nightshift/runner.py && python3
              runner.py install

How much work per shift

Night shift is open during your run window. Each connected AI keeps working until either the token budget runs out, or that AI reports it has less spare capacity left than you allow below — and then only that one stops.

Token budget Stop an AI below

Percent of its own weekly capacity an AI must keep for you. It reports where it stands; Brain never guesses.

Privacy & backup timing

Backup weekly reset

Day Time

your time. This backup schedule is used only when a selected AI cannot report a weekly reset.

Keep completed conversation turns Older raw turns are pruned. Memories distilled from them remain.

Brain asks a selected AI for visible usage information only during its normal check-in, at most once a day. It never calls a provider or an LLM just to poll usage, and it never guesses a reset or remaining allowance.
