πŸ—οΈ The Focus

  • Agent Memory Infrastructure: Built a local GPU-accelerated memory system for my AI agent using SurrealDB (document + graph + vector) and Qwen3-Embedding-4B running on an RTX 5070 Ti. Vector search, concept graphs, temporal edges β€” all localhost, all mine. Wrote it up here. Published the sanitized prototype on GitHub.
  • Nosh: Created an open spec for embedding structured, machine-readable content in your page's <head> so AI agents get typed knowledge instead of parsing HTML. 4.1x fewer tokens, same knowledge. Blog post. Spec on GitHub.
  • bold.casa Redesign: Rebuilt the blog's visual identity β€” monospace typography, navy blueprint aesthetic, surgical CSS overrides on the tabi theme. Mobile-tested.
  • Clawguard: Agent ops guardrail layer β€” budget enforcement, watchdog, shield, control plane. Primary product wedge. Architecture phase.
  • Legal AI Research: Exploring domain-specific legal embedding models (voyage-law-2, LEGAL-BERT) for evidence analysis and potential pro se legal AI product.

πŸ“š Reading / Learning

  • Agent memory architectures: Surveyed MemGPT/Letta OS, OpenAI's approach, Claude's memory, AI Toolkits patterns. Landed on SurrealDB multi-model as the foundation.
  • Legal AI: voyage-law-2 tops MTEB legal benchmarks. Open-source alternatives exist. Exploring whether pro se legal AI could be the shippable product.
  • GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): How to make content AI-agent-friendly. Nosh is my answer.

  • Machine: ROG Strix G16 β€” Ryzen 9 8940HX, 64GB DDR5, RTX 5070 Ti 12GB, Fedora Silverblue
  • Stack: OpenClaw + Kit (Claude Opus 4.6), SurrealDB, Qwen3-Embedding-4B, Zola, Obsidian
  • Mood: Building.
  • Upcoming: ClawCon Nashville β€” Feb 17, co-hosting with Dieter Scholtyssek. Duluth building trip. Taxes.
