← Dan GarrawayThe agent, running on me since 2025

What mine looks like.

The agent that runs my own work. Not the model: the decisions about when it speaks, what it shows, what it asks me for and what it just gets on with. Real formats; numbers illustrative.

Ever had your best idea in the shower? We're embodied, shaped by where we are.

So build for how you live: body, place, rhythm. Tune the decisions to the outcomes.

The loops are all that matters.


01 · The morning

A day that already has a shape.

Read overnight, triaged before I'm at the machine. I wake up oriented, not buried.

Surf: chest-high, offshore till ~9. Window's the morning.

Today, one thing: ship the offer page. Everything else can wait.

On your desk: 2 threads waiting on you (Acme, the lawyer).

Handled: I drafted the Acme reply. Say the word and it goes.


02 · The money

The number I'd rather not look at, surfaced daily.

One honest screen. Runway, one win, one yes/no. Never shaming.

One win: the refund landed. A little more room.

On the desk: card due Friday. Covered.

One ask: renew the design tool? yes / no


03 · The agent

Quiet by default. Loud only when it matters.

Lives where I already am: WhatsApp. One message, one ask. Never moves money without a nod.


04 · The loop

It's a loop, not a prompt.

A prompt is a request. A loop is a relationship: read your state, tune the work, learn.

This is the shape. Yours starts with one workflow.

An Agent Build is that workflow running as a production agent, with evals and a runbook, handed over in 4 to 6 weeks.
