THE AGENT ORG
> seven agents. one mac mini. zero cloud bills.
An always-on Mac mini in my office runs a self-hosted OpenClaw deployment — a small org of seven persona-scoped AI agents, each bound to its own chat channel with its own workspace and memory. They collaborate, hand off work, and escalate to me only when a human call is needed. Twenty-nine timezone-aware cron jobs keep it moving around the clock.
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
THE ROSTER
executive operator — coordinates the org, owns the daily report, escalates to me only when human judgment is needed
24/7 builder — writes and ships code
research & intel — mines local startup channels
health coach — runs on a decade of Garmin data
markets & finance — daily scans, hourly risk monitor
QA & release — reliability first
requirements architect — turns ideas into specs
THE BIG BEAUTIFUL REPORT
Every morning at 6:30 the org compiles one digest — local startup intel mined from community channels, market conditions, venture activity, and competitor research for AuditPilot — and delivers it two ways: a polished HTML email and an auto-generated 2–5 minute audio brief to Telegram. One report, built by agents, read before coffee.
THE GARMIN PIPELINE
A decade of my own biometrics — sleep stages, HRV, body battery, training load, 24 tables of it — synced hourly from Garmin Connect into local SQLite by launchd jobs (2,300+ unattended runs, zero logged errors). The health agent merges it nightly with my own notes and runs a daily coaching cadence plus a Sunday rollup.
BUILT VS. BORROWED
I built the Overland and Slack MCP servers and the Garmin pipeline from scratch, plus Mission Control — the browser cockpit that watches the whole fleet. The WhatsApp bridge and X search servers started as open-source projects by Luke Harries and 0xGval; I run patched forks (dependency bumps, a SQL fix). Credit where due.
