Ideas · A statement of conviction
Agentic AI will bring grand visions into physical reality that once existed only in our minds.
Since February 2026 I have worked alongside artificial intelligence every day, and each day has deepened my conviction. Everyone should learn to use it in service of whatever matters most to them.
A mentor for everyone
A personal mentor, within reach of every person.
People will not stop learning. They will learn more efficiently than at any point in history, one on one, in conversation with an intelligence that knows the subject and adapts to the learner. It can serve as a mentor, a teacher and a thinking partner, as a business partner to someone building alone, and as a source of informed guidance across nearly every discipline we rely on.
A patient and knowledgeable guide has long been a privilege reserved for the few. It will soon belong to anyone willing to ask a thoughtful question, and few developments in history will matter more.
I intend to help build it.
Using AI is a strength, and I use it openly.
A capable instrument in disciplined hands has always been the mark of a serious practitioner. This site, the tools I publish and the company behind them were all built in partnership with artificial intelligence, and that partnership is the substance of my work.
I am self-taught, and proud of how I learned.
Beginning in February 2026, I learned by building, with AI beside me as an instructor that explained each concept until I understood it completely and restated any answer dense with jargon in plain language. Within months, that discipline had produced the system this site describes. A lifelong learner by temperament, I now devote nearly every free hour to reading, taking notes and training alongside my agents.
Everyday questions deserve the same rigor.
In a single season I have brought practical questions about the upkeep of my home and garden to AI, alongside the far larger question of how one might build a company staffed entirely by artificial intelligence. Each received the same care and the same depth of reasoning. That breadth, from the domestic to the strategic, is precisely why I believe everyone should keep it close at hand.
The human remains the decision-maker.
My agents perform substantive work, and I direct them in plain language, much as I once directed a salon team. Every consequential decision, however, returns to me. Judgment and accountability belong with people, and everything I build is designed to keep them there.
Curiosity has always driven me, and AI is the first companion to keep pace.
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to understand how the world works. Every question I bring to artificial intelligence is met with patience and depth, and every answer opens a more interesting question than the last.
The work belongs in the open.
My tools are published on GitHub for anyone to use, and Vega, our AI trader, records the reasoning behind every decision he makes. The log on this site documents what has happened, setbacks included. Trust in artificial intelligence will be earned in the open, and that is where I intend to earn it.
Considered directions
- Learning
- A personal tutor for anyone who wishes to master a new skill, at a pace suited to them.
- Personal finance
- Clear and patient explanation of one’s own finances, so that every figure is understood. Early work in this area is already under way.
- Health literacy
- Help in understanding a health question, so that each conversation with a qualified professional is better informed and more productive.
- Small business
- A capable partner for the independent owner who carries every responsibility alone, as I once did.
- Beauty
- The considered consultation I offer in the salon chair, made available to anyone preparing at home.
AI will change the world for the better. The work of building that future has already begun.
The directions above are intentions. As each becomes real work, it will be recorded in the log.
