🛠️ Building Now

Everything below is built in public — the wins and the dead ends both get written up on the blog.

Product	What it is
Telepace	Customer-research infrastructure powered by Voice AI + Agents
Apply Agent	An open, client-side AI job-search copilot — discover → tailor → apply → interview prep → track
Solo Compass	A living map for solo travelers — map-first, experience-as-unit, AI-curated
DayPage	A daily page for reflection — one day, one page

New things ship here first. A ⭐ on anything above tells me what to build more of.
