The need kept coming back.
Every few months, like clockwork.
My GitHub is like 40 projects. I don't even know. I came out of retirement to mess with AI. Not because someone told me to. Because it was too addictive.
I worked two months on Vibe Tunnel. It got so good I was catching myself always coding next to my friends. I was like, "I need to stop this."
I didn't stop.
Then in November, my need came back. I went to the kitchen and all I wanted was to check if my computer would still be doing stuff or be finished. And I realized: I keep building the same thing because the same thing keeps not being right.
So I built it again. But this time I built it even better.
Everything I saw so far runs in the cloud.
This time you don't type into a terminal.
You talk to a friend.
A ghost or entity or whatever you want to call it that can control your mouse and your keyboard and can just do stuff. That's all I ever wanted.
The initial prototype took me one hour.
Just a little bit of glue between WhatsApp and Claude Code. Slow, but it worked. Then I went to Marrakesh.
The internet wasn't good. WhatsApp works everywhere because it's just text. So I used it for everything.
It was even clever enough not to install local Whisper — downloading a model takes minutes, and I'm impatient. It really took the most intelligent approach.
That's not an app. That's intelligence.
Every app that basically just manages data could be managed in a better way — in a more natural way — by agents.
If they expose an API, they're just services your AI calls.
The one file that's not open‑source is my soul.md
How we think about human-AI interaction.
What's important to me. What's important to the model.
Some parts are a little bit mumbo-jumbo.
Some parts are actually really valuable.
I asked Codex to make templates. What came out was Brad. Boring. Generic. Lifeless. So I told my agent — his name is Multi now, name number five — "Infuse those templates with your character."
Everything that came out afterwards was actually funny. Not as funny as mine. So I kept some secret.
I feel like the whole world does Claude Code and I don't think I could have built this thing with Claude Code.
You can't explain this.
You have to watch the ghost work.
We're so early.
But I feel we are on the timeline now.
And it had to be a loner from some tiny country
far away from Silicon Valley
to bring this upon you.
