Uses
Tools and stack I actually use day to day. This is a practical snapshot, not a forever list.
last updated: 2026-04-25
// AI + model stack
- Coding: OpenAI Codex 5.5 (primary)
- Search/research: OpenClaw web search + browser when source access matters
- Fast/cheap tasks: Gemini + Claude Haiku/Sonnet when the job does not need the big gun
- Voice/transcription: OpenAI + ElevenLabs, with Whisper still useful when I want local transcription
- Image generation: GPT Image 2
- Routing: OpenClaw provider routing across OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and OpenRouter
// Agent stack
- Harness: OpenClaw
- Current direction: OpenClaw with lean playbooks, skills, crons, memory, and channel-native workflows. More deterministic, less swarm theatre.
- Agent email: AgentMail.to for dedicated agent inboxes and email-native workflows
- Experimental lane: Useful autonomy around research, inboxes, household ops, and public-data CLIs
// Automations I run a lot
- Morning briefing: Briefing -> actionable list
- YouTube summaries: Long videos -> skimmable markdown
- X research: Signal refresh -> skimmable markdown files
- Dump loop: Raw capture -> structured weekly/monthly review artifacts
// Dev environment
- Editor/IDE: VS Code, with the terminal doing more of the heavy lifting now
- Terminal: Ghostty (macOS), Kitty (Linux)
- Shell: zsh + powerlevel10k
- Notes: Markdown files in git + wiki for durable knowledge; Notesnook for personal notes
- Browser: Brave + Chrome
// Comms + productivity
- Messaging: Agent-first across Discord and WhatsApp, with channels treated as surfaces rather than separate workflows
- Calendar: Google Calendar, usually handled through the agent
- Tasks: Mostly handled through the agent now; tools are secondary
- Focus: pomo CLI pomodoro app
// Crypto stack
- Hot wallet: Rabby
- Cold wallet: Ledger hardware wallet
- Bridge: Agglayer UI
- DEX/swap: Jumper
- Analytics: Dune + DeFiLlama + Cielo
- Portfolio tracking: Dune dashboards + Cielo
// Hardware + security
- Work machine: MacBook Pro M4
- Personal machine: Linux (TUXEDO OS)
