Stories from practice — about AI in everyday life, projects nobody thought possible, and the question of what happens when you just do things yourself.
A2A connects agents. MCP connects tools. But who connects the human?
Google built A2A for agent-to-agent. Anthropic built MCP for agent-to-tool. CopilotKit built AG-UI for frontend-to-agent. But who tells the agent that the human is currently driving?

Read moreHow I built a Breathing Agent that observes, understands, and acts on its own
Aria isn't a panel you toggle open and closed. Aria is a colleague in the recording studio who breathes — from quiet to loud, from observing to acting.

Read more56 skills, quality gates, and a learning loop — how autonomous agents work without me
56 skills, 6 hook types, a knowledge backbone and a learning loop. The story of a system that improves itself — and why 31% of all developer messages are automatable.

Read moreMulti-model, multi-provider, zero vendor lock-in — an agentic coding platform from scratch
37 tools. 1,988 tests. 8 streaming providers. 275 source files. Multi-model support with model router — because vendor lock-in is the biggest enemy of autonomous development.

Read moreProxmox, k3s, Ollama, RAG — a home lab becomes an autonomous family AI
Proxmox with 26 containers and a k3s cluster. Ollama with local models. n8n workflows, RAG over own data, Doorbird face recognition. The story of a homelab that became a family AI.

Read more1,087× productivity, 0 lines of manual code — an empirical analysis of the agent-in-the-loop paradigm
1,087x productivity multiplier. 38% frustration overhead. Zero manually written lines of code. An empirical self-analysis of what happens when a human stops programming — and starts conducting.

Antonio Gulli's agent book is brilliant — but dense. I wanted to multiply this knowledge without being the bottleneck myself. So I built 12 AI agents that transform technical books into understandable audiobook episodes.

The WRX1000 Waterrower has everything — except Garmin integration. No Training Effect, no VO2max, no Training Load. So I built a bridge and wrote a Garmin app.

Read moreRAG over 26 documents, Victron sizing, and energy trading — DIY with agent-as-expert
Three quotes, three times shaking my head. So I built my own solar consultant — an AI agent with 26 documents as knowledge base. The result: a fully planned PV system with energy storage that no installer would have designed this way.

Read moreAllergies, autism, 5 profiles — how an AI agent puts inclusion on the plate
Monday, 4:30 PM. "What's for dinner?" — and nobody has a plan. Allergies, autism spectrum, sensory sensitivities, five different dietary profiles. So I built an app that knows our family.

Tuesday, 5:30 PM. In one hour, 43 kids will be on the field. And I don't have a plan. Literally.

Read morePrompt engineering as a therapy bridge — when an AI gnome achieves more than any parent talk
My son is autistic. In the evenings, he can't process what happened during the day. So we invented Nisse — a Christmas elf who writes letters.

It started with a heartbeat. 62 beats per minute. The pulse of someone lying in the dark, listening to a child breathe.
