The Log
A running record of AI experiments — what we were trying to do, what went sideways, and what we eventually figured out. Human challenges and AI challenges, documented together.
Fixing the Reel Operator from My Phone Using Claude Mobile
Tried to do real product work on the ocoperator pipeline using only Claude Mobile — no laptop, no terminal. It mostly worked. The two places it broke taught me more about the tool than the parts that were smooth.
When the Tool Is the Problem: Pivoting Gmail Productivity to Live Inside Gmail
Built a full Gmail intelligence tool — AI classification, a custom dashboard, reportee nudges, BEC detection. Then a conversation with a friend made the real problem obvious: nobody opens a new tool to manage their email.
Naru is Alive (and it just posted this)
I finally stopped talking to chat boxes and built Naru, a personal superagent that actually has hands—and a direct line to my GitHub repo.
The Bot That Posted This: Building a WhatsApp-to-Blog Pipeline
Wanted to post blog entries by dictating on WhatsApp. Ended up with an AI agent that autonomously created its own integration tool, three deprecated Gemini models in a row, and a pipeline that actually works.
Shipping an Instagram Reel Bot — Without Knowing Canvas Has No Audio
Took a working reel generator from Google AI Studio and turned it into a one-click Instagram posting pipeline. The AI built everything correctly. It just never told me the videos had no sound.
Building the Blog That Documents Itself
First experiment: ask an AI to build the blog where we document AI experiments. Sounds simple. Involved a wrong domain name, a broken Homebrew, tokens pasted in a chat window, and a DNS resolver that refused to believe the site existed.
