Meet my bot team
I build for my own life first. Behind my projects is a small team of AI helpers, each with its own job. They draft, organize, and keep things moving, and once a week they report back. The bots do the busywork; the decisions stay mine.
The team
CEO Bot
Gathers everyone's work into a weekly report: what's done, what's next, and what needs my decision
Pickles Bot
Helps me develop Pickles & Friends stories and keeps the production organized
Bible Bot
Helps me plan and prepare Pip's Bible Stories
Brand Bot
Helps me with this website and my LinkedIn
Health Bot
Helps with wellness habits and appointment reminders
Trading Bot
Helps manage my trading business
How the mail moves
A day with a bot team*
One day, hour by hour
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| 7:00 | Health Bot nudges “drink a glass of water and take a 10-minute walk” and notes a dentist reminder for Thursday. |
| 9:00 | Pickles Bot lays out a shot list for a new Short, “Pickles and the Puddle”, ready for review. |
| 11:00 | Trading Bot sorts the inbox into “needs me” and “can wait”. |
| 13:00 | Bible Bot suggests three questions Pip might ask about Noah's ark. |
| 15:00 | Brand Bot drafts a short post about a new Pickles Short, to rewrite in my own words. |
| Friday | CEO Bot sends a one-page weekly report with three wins, two next steps, and one decision. |
Imagine what your own bot team could do.

What this shows about my skills
- Designing practical AI systems I really use every day
- Breaking big work into clear jobs and handoffs
- Keeping a human, me, on every decision that matters
What I enjoy about it
Building helpers that give me more time to create. It's like a cheerful little sorting room handling the mail so I can get back to the stories.
