I built it because I needed help keeping track of stuff. I’m all over the place and my memory is horrible. Plus I love AI, and I don’t like doing redundant things over and over.
So I just make it help me so I can focus on the things I love the most, which is having conversations with people, and thinking, and writing, and exploring ideas, and living life better, and having good relationships. That’s what I care about.
I can’t write code — never have. I describe what I want in plain language, it writes the parts I couldn’t, and I correct it like a smart hire still learning my business.
Mostly I just talk to it in plain language, the way you’d talk to a sharp assistant who never forgets. Underneath it’s a hundred moving parts; as the person living with it, I don’t care. That’s the point.

AI’s Blind Spot Is You
Everyone’s afraid AI just makes the big players bigger. The half they miss — and the powerful have no reason to point out — is that it just handed one ordinary person a real edge. But only if it knows you. -

Three Years In, Talking to AI All Day — Here’s the Mistake Almost Everyone Makes
I’ve talked to AI nearly every day for three years — too much, honestly. Here’s the short list of what actually makes it work, starting with the mistake almost everyone makes. -

The Friend Who’ll Tell You the Truth
Everyone who loves you gives you the 90% version of the hard truth. Here’s how to use the one thing that won’t soften it — and how to keep your own judgment while you do. -

Start here — the origin story
Everyone Has the Same AI. A Few Are Using It to Build a Better Life.
It’s not the model — it’s the personal system you build around your whole life. I’m not a coder. I just got obsessed and built one anyway, and it’s been the most fun, most useful thing I’ve ever done. It’s quietly made everything better: my work, my money, my marriage, how I think, how I show up. Here’s why everyone should have one — and where you start. -

How to Actually Use a Personal AI OS
Everyone has the same models now, and almost no one is getting much out of them — not because their AI is worse, but because of how they’re using it. These six habits are the whole difference between the people who get something close to magic and the people who get a competent, generic shrug. You can practice every one of them in your next chat, before you build a single thing. -

What Every Executive Should Know About AI
It isn’t about rolling out AI. It’s about the one thing you can’t delegate — your own thinking — and the executives who figure that out first will pull away from the ones who don’t. -

AI Doesn’t Have a Hallucination Problem. Humans Have a Clarity Challenge.
What three years of obsessive daily AI use taught me about why your AI gives bad answers.
The apps
Dated, out of the system’s own record-
The Daily Brief
My day is written for me before I wake up.
I wake up and the day is already on the page: what has to happen, what can wait, what I’d have forgotten by ten. I used to keep all of that in my head, which is a terrible place to keep anything. Now it reads it to me the minute I sit down, and I mostly just argue with it.

Comms Triage
My mail is read and sorted every five minutes. I click every send.
Mail used to be a pile I’d dread for a week and then binge. Now it reads everything every five minutes, sorts it, and writes the boring replies so they’re waiting for me in the morning. I still click every send. Nothing leaves here that I didn’t look at.
-
My Desk
Every client case has its own page: the person, what they need, and what happens next.
Every client case has a page: who they are, what they’ve got, what happens next. Before this it lived in my head and in about nine browser tabs, and something always fell through. Now nothing falls through, and when it does, the page tells on me.

QuickBooks Killer
My books are kept by software I built. QuickBooks still runs payroll.
I’ve run businesses for years and still dread opening QuickBooks. So I built something that keeps the books in plain English, and it found the leaks in my finances and the tax moves I’d been missing. QuickBooks still runs payroll. I’m not that brave yet.

File Clerk
My documents file themselves, and every move has an undo.
Documents used to land wherever I dropped them and stay there forever. Now they file themselves, and every move has an undo, because I learned that one the hard way. It never deletes a document of mine; it moves it to a to-delete folder, and I empty it.
-
Writer’s Desk
My writing has its own app: every piece, every draft, every note.
I’m always writing four things at once and I forget what I’ve already written. So every piece, every draft and every note lives in one app, and when a piece is done it pushes it to Substack. It doesn’t write the pieces. I go through a hundred drafts, I have a process it keeps me on track with, and I approve every word.
-
Connections
One page per person, with everything I know about them in one place.
Most software I’ve used keeps a person scattered across five places. This keeps one page per person, and every night it writes me a plain paragraph on each live relationship, so I don’t walk into a conversation cold.
-
Night Watchman
It maps its own parts and tells me when something breaks.
It keeps a map of its own parts and tells me when one goes dark. It still breaks. I’d rather have a thing that says “I’m broken” than one that quietly quits on me, and this one says it.
How it’s built
One AI, which I talk to, which writes all the code. Underneath it’s Python, a database and a dashboard I read in a browser. About three years of it, and I’ve never typed a line myself. One assistant, with her own login. The scar that set every rule: early on I had the AI organize my Google Drive and about thirty documents were just gone, the hand-written drafts of a book I’d worked on for two years, not even in the trash. I came within hours of losing two years of work to a chore I’d handed off. So: reversible, it owns; irreversible, I own. If you’re starting, start with one page describing your life that the AI can read.
The open door
I love this stuff. I’ve been obsessed with it since it came out, I spend a ridiculous amount of time in it, and I’ve gotten pretty good. If that’s useful to you, I’m open to opportunity, wherever it comes from. Write me: [email protected].
I didn’t build this to have a system. I built it so I’d stop losing the plot of my own life, and so the hours go to the writing. That’s the rest of this site.
