Curated entertainment
Film, TV, music, theatre, and books — sourced and curated, proactively seeking out and serving up options aligned with our taste.
Wintermute
A private, agentic system — built to my exact need
One agent and architecture to rule them all.
Wintermute is the single interface to every machine and agent I have built: it's the engine that drives my home and my projects. One coordinating mind runs it all; it's reachable by voice or text from all my devices, built to be private where it matters, and it expands and shifts with me as I build and change focus.

Always awake
Everything I'm passionate about linked together by one mind.
The smart home was supposed to think for us. Instead it became a drawer of apps, each one renting back our own data, none of them talking to the others — none a perfect fit for the things I actually care about.
So I built the alternative — one system that sees the whole picture and acts on it. It plans the trips, sources the entertainment, researches the purchases, runs the house, and remembers what matters, quietly watching over all of it.
It leans on my own hardware for everything private, and reaches for the best cloud tools when that's the right call. The personal data stays home, local and encrypted, while the heavy lifting goes wherever it's done best.
What it does
Everything, handled.
Not one assistant with one trick — a fleet of custom-built specialized agents spanning all my projects and interests. They come in three modes: proactive ones that act on their own, speaking up when something warrants it; persistent keepers that stay always-on and hold state; and ephemeral workers, spun up for a single task, then gone. The highlights:
Travel, fully planned
A flight confirmation or a half-formed idea becomes a booked, day-by-day itinerary and a polished brochure.
Deep shopping research
It researches any purchase in depth and hands back a custom web page weighing the real options.
A home that responds
Light, climate, presence, and routine — the house reads the moment, adjusts itself, and suggests tweaks
A second brain
An agent-maintained vault of notes and knowledge — including a Rolodex that remembers who recommended what
Health & fitness coaching
Personal, conversational coaching that adapts to how the day — and the body — are actually going using multiple data sources.
Parts on demand
Describe a part in plain words, pictures, and/or dimensions — it's designed and 3D-printed to fill the need.
Game-night co-pilot
Rules, character builds, campaign lore, and prep — so game night is just showing up and playing.
Financial strategy
Scattered documents become a clear retirement and tax plan, modelling numerous scenarios.
Renovation HQ
One source of truth for a big renovation — scope, budget, drawings, and room-by-room decisions tracked while managing communications.
Labels, printed
A plain-language request becomes a crisp, ready-to-stick label — designed and printed in one step.
Life, managed
Tasks, calendars, reminders, and a morning briefing — across the home and everything I do.
Data made visual
Raw data goes in; polished, data-driven visual pieces come out.
Its own web studio
A web-design, hosting, and DNS pipeline of my own that stands up public and private spaces, hosted at home or in the cloud as each calls for.
Always watching
Keeps an eye on the home and the people in it, and raises a hand when something needs attention.
One interface, one mind
It looks like a fleet.
It answers as one.
Under the surface, specialists divide the work: one plans, one curates, one researches, one builds. No crowd to manage, no dashboard to learn. Ask once, and one coordinated intelligence answers — by text or by voice, on the sofa or across the world.
Every project surfaces on a private network of my own, hosted on my own hardware; outputs land there for review, and I feed my input straight back. It's a living workspace I can step into and steer.

From anywhere
The build
What's live — and what's next.
Built & running
- Forward a flight confirmation → get back a booked, day-by-day itinerary and a printed brochure
- Name something worth buying → get a custom, in-depth research page weighing the real options
- Describe a broken part in plain words → it's designed, 3D-printed, and on the shelf by morning
- Ask what to watch, hear, read, or see next → sourced from my own taste and history
- Wake to a morning briefing that already knows the calendar, the house, and the day ahead
- One text-or-voice line into all of it, from anywhere in the world
Live today, used every day.
Deploying & in development
- Voice in every room of the house
- More of the private thinking moved fully in-house
- The renovation, run end-to-end — from drawings to done
- Sharper hand-offs, so one request can span every specialist
Shipping in stages.
The rules it's built on
i.
Private where it counts
It runs on my own hardware and surfaces on my own network, so the personal and sensitive stays put; nothing leaves unless I send it. The cloud earns its place where it's the right tool, and privacy is a choice I make, built in from the start.
ii.
Resilient
Built to keep working when the internet doesn't. The home shouldn't go dark because a distant server did.
iii.
Always on
It runs day and night without being asked — quietly handling the small things so the big things get attention.
iv.
Truly mine
No subscription owns the plans, the memories, or the projects. I hold the keys to my own life's intelligence.
One mind for my home and everything I build — private where it counts, and entirely mine.
A system that thinks alongside me, remembers what matters, and looks after the people I love. Built and evolving according to my needs.
