Poor People App / OpenCare — When you have a problem, build a solution
I was drowning in group texts trying to coordinate my parents' care: doctors, insurance
renewals, medications, siblings who needed updates but didn't need another app. So I
built OpenCare:
a care coordination platform where circles of helpers organize around the people who
matter, with tasks, reminders, and daily digests that reach even the family members
who barely check email.
Then the mission grew. OpenRecovery
applies the same circle model to substance use and dual diagnosis recovery — 10
modalities, daily check-ins, journaling, and Recover E, an AI voice companion
that's sharp, challenging, and built for people who want to do the work, not sit back
and wait. It's not clinical. It's not cookie-cutter.
The whole thing lives under the Poor People App — a platform for underserved
communities where the AI handles the 95% of bureaucratic work that's purely
procedural, and human Sentinels handle the 5% that requires real judgment. Identity
on Nostr. Care that's free. Infrastructure for the people who can't afford to wait
for the system to work.

PRODUCTION
Hard-E — The Sales Director That Picks Up Every Time
Hard-E is a full AI sales director that lives inside a contractor's CRM. It doesn't
just answer questions — it pulls up customer records, moves jobs through pipeline
stages, sends texts and emails, schedules appointments, looks up pricing, and
remembers everything from every conversation. Twenty-one CRM tools, real-time voice
powered by Cartesia at 40ms latency, and a persistent memory system that gets sharper
the more you use it.
The voice pipeline is the real differentiator. Deepgram transcribes, Claude Sonnet 4
reasons and selects tools, Cartesia speaks — all over WebRTC with barge-in support.
It's not a chatbot with a microphone taped to it. It's a production voice agent that
can look up a customer mid-sentence, check their job status, and tell you what stage
it's in without breaking conversational flow.
Multi-tenant, invite-based trials, encrypted credentials per company, tenant-isolated
knowledge bases. Built to clone — swap the CRM plugin, rewrite the personality file,
upload new training docs, and it becomes a sales director for a different industry.

TECHNICAL LEAD
All Angles — Remodeling How Remodeling Gets Sold
Most contractor websites are brochures with a contact form bolted on. This one had to
be different — the founder spent 30 years watching the industry get it wrong. Hard
sells, vague estimates, leads that go nowhere. All Angles launched as a startup built
on the opposite: educate first, earn trust, then ask permission.
So I built the entire conversion around that. No contact form. Instead, a guided
interactive journey that walks homeowners through the process at their own pace. By
the time they reach the end, they've learned something, they've uploaded photos of
their home, and they've decided on their own terms that they're ready. That's when
the system asks for one thing: permission to come measure.
Behind the curtain, uploaded photos hit S3 and GPT-4o Vision reads the exterior —
siding material, trim condition, visible damage. Perplexity researches the property.
The contractor receives an AI-briefed dossier on a lead who already said yes, before
he's picked up the phone.

24/7 AUTONOMOUS
Ethos — My 24/7 AI Chief of Staff
I built a staff member that never sleeps. Ethos is a Hermes Agent running on AWS
Lightsail, reachable by voice or text through Telegram. It coordinates real care
tasks via the OpenCare API, runs a 9-lens video intelligence pipeline that extracts
clips and synthesizes research into structured wiki pages, and maintains a
multi-domain knowledge base across investing, technology, and frontier science —
over 100 pages of interconnected analysis that grows every week. It delegates
expensive work to cheaper models, resets its own sessions, and curates its own skill
library without being asked. The whole operation costs less than a coffee a day.
