The Real Point

AI agents aren't just
for coding.

The best use case might be
the boring personal stuff.

What Else My Agent Does

  • Monitors emails, calendar, reminders
  • Checks X/Twitter mentions
  • Deploys apps to Cloudflare Pages
  • Manages GitHub repos and PRs
  • Monitors Solana wallets and tokens
  • Writes and posts content
  • Runs 40+ live projects

The Roadmap

a.k.a. "how to make your boss irrelevant"

Phase 1: Now
Mac Mini under desk. Agent runs my life. Lost 5kg.
Phase 2: Local AI
Mac Studio + Google Gemma running locally. No API bills. Full privacy.
Phase 3: Cut the cord
Starlink dish on the roof. No ISP. Agent goes off-grid.
Phase 4: Final form
RV. Beach. Mac Studio + Starlink + solar. Agent deploys apps while I surf.

The dream: my agent earns more than I do.
