No sleep mid-task
While a session is busy, a pipeline runs or an approval waits, RAPR stops Windows from sleeping. The screen can still turn off. Choose Always for round-the-clock schedules.
Always on
An always-on AI agent that lives on your own PC.
Always-on agents usually mean someone else’s cloud. RAPR AI keeps yours on your machine, and Kelvin, its penguin, makes sure it stays on: no surprise sleep in the middle of a task, back after every restart, and a heartbeat you can check from your phone.
Kelvin, the RAPR AI penguin, shows what every agent is doing.
Keeps Windows awake while agents work, or always, or never: your choice
Starts with Windows so schedules and Telegram survive restarts
Send /kelvin on Telegram for uptime, running tasks and the next schedule
Optional daily check-in: silence means the PC is off or asleep
Visible, even when closed
Close the window and RAPR keeps running in the tray, with a Kelvin badge that changes colour with agent state and a notification when an agent needs approval.
Reachable from anywhere
Control sessions, approve actions and check status from Telegram. The daily check-in turns silence into a signal.
Questions people ask
Short answers for the search terms around always-on ai agent.
Will my laptop still sleep when I close the lid?
Closing the lid follows your Windows lid-close setting. RAPR keeps the PC awake while it is open, but cannot override a lid-close sleep.
Does keeping the PC awake need admin rights?
No. RAPR uses the standard Windows power request, which ends automatically when RAPR exits.
How do I know RAPR is still running?
Look for Kelvin’s badge on the tray icon, or send /kelvin on Telegram. No reply means RAPR is off or the PC is asleep.
Is Kelvin in the Windows installer?
Not yet. Kelvin is new: run RAPR AI from the open-source code on GitHub to use Kelvin today. Kelvin comes to the installer in the next release.
