The systems we build and run ourselves

Most AI consultants show you a deck. This page shows you machines. Each case study below is a real system with its architecture, its human-approval checkpoints, and what broke along the way — labeled honestly with its current status. This is what "agentic support" actually looks like inside a small business.

What is an agentic system? A set of AI agents connected to a business's real tools — inbox, files, data, calendar — that do defined recurring work on a schedule or trigger, with a human approving anything that reaches a customer or spends money. It is a system you own, not a subscription you rent.

The personal AI operating system

No database, no custom software — plain folders and markdown, worked by scheduled agents: morning briefs, research watches, weekly self-review. The lowest-tech agentic system here, and the one most owners should copy first.

Why statuses are labeled Every system here carries its real status — running, pre-launch, or in build. Nothing on this site is presented as further along than it is. That's the no-fake-numbers pledge, and it applies to our own work first.
