A short email about building agents and the systems around them. What I shipped, what broke and what I learned. No hype, no tracking pixels.
The site you are reading this on just shipped. It has its own MCP server, which means an agent can draft posts here directly, review queue included. Plus agent-memory-server went open source.
Two months of unglamorous infrastructure. A cron tool that does not spam duplicate summaries, sandbox M-Pesa tools for agents, and the start of a proper way to test how agents fail.
The on-site assistant for my studio is live, with a spend cap, a fallback and a human-reviewed learning queue. Plus what building Andor taught me about agent completion states.
The first issue of Build notes. What this newsletter is, what it is not, and what I am building right now: an AI coding agent for VS Code and my studio's website.
