 "title": "Run a persistent task agent on your Mac",
 "page_title": "How to run a persistent task agent on your Mac with Noodle",
 "summary": "Install Noodle, connect your AI account and give a bot a recurring task with its own workspace.",
 "who": "A knowledge worker on a Mac who already pays for an AI tool and repeatedly re-explains the same context for research or document work.",
 "problem": "Chat sessions forget your role, files and past work, so each new request starts from zero.",
 "outcome": "A named bot with its own workspace, backstory and history that picks up the same task each time you return.",
 "steps": [
  "Download the Noodle DMG from the Noodle link in the README, open it and drag Noodle to Applications.",
  "Open Noodle and follow Settings → Harness to install and sign in to your harness.",
  "Create a bot, choose its harness and describe its role in the backstory.",
  "Give it a task and the files or context it needs, and keep the bot's workspace for later runs."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Noodle project at github.com/pdparchitect/noodle, guide a user through installing Noodle on macOS 26 and creating one bot for <task description>. Expected output: a bot named <bot name> with a backstory and one task started. Verify that the bot's workspace shows the files you attached.",

 "time": "30 min",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Noodle only runs on the harnesses it lists and needs macOS 26, so older Macs cannot use the main app.",

 "lang": "swift",
 "requirements": [
  "A Mac running macOS 26 for the main Noodle app",
  "An account for at least one supported harness (Codex, Claude Code, FX, Grok Build, Muse Code, OpenCode v2, Antigravity) or Apple Intelligence on device",
  "A Noodle Hub on an always-on Mac, if you want to use shared harnesses or phone access"
