GoKawiilLaude releases Headlong, an open-source harness for always-on AI agents
Laude has open-sourced Headlong, an agent framework built around a Bash core under 10,000 lines that keeps AI agents continuously generating thoughts rather than only responding to prompts. Instead of waking on a schedule to run a checklist, a Headlong agent runs a persistent thought stream where incoming messages are treated as observations, and it decides for itself whether and when to reply. Laude tested this internally with a shared agent named Audel across Slack, Telegram, and mobile, letting multiple team members interact with the same continuously running agent.
