Building a COO

The coding was fun but I realized quickly that Claude was useful for more than writing Swift. I started feeding it my calendar, contacts, to-do lists, and project notes. Within a week it was running my mornings.

It pulls my Google Calendar, reads Apple Notes, scans reminders, and cross-references everything against a CRM and a set of memory files it maintains itself. It gives me a daily briefing and tracks follow-ups until they're done.

The infrastructure is janky. Python scripts, JSON caches, shell hooks, markdown files that reference other markdown files. But it works. And it's gotten more capable over time as we've added to it.
