Things I’m building with agents

A messy idea.
A working
prototype.

I explained how I manage an apartment building. Then we started building something I could click.

It started with
how I actually work.

I manage property. Rent comes in. Something breaks. Someone moves out. There are spreadsheets, messages, photos, signatures, and a lot of following up.

So I described the whole thing to an agent. In my own words. Long sentences, missing details, corrections and all.

“Let’s test it out in my workflow first.”— From the conversation that started this build

We turned that into one coordinator and eight skills. The first version is a prototype. Now I can point at something and say: change this.

Follow the work.

Be the tenant, then the technician, then the landlord. See what the workflow keeps track of.

03 / The useful partBuild → notice → change

The first version
missed something.

This is where it gets interesting.

For applications, the first explanation was: collect the answers and bring them back to me.

“I want the agent to qualify it.”— My correction

That changed the workflow. Now the prototype can check an applicant against editable demo criteria and explain its result. My actual criteria still need to go in.

I don’t have to get every detail right at the start. I can try it, notice what’s missing, and keep shaping it.

04 / Where it really standsPrototype, not a finished service

Here’s what exists today.

You can try

  • Eight connected demo workflows
  • Landlord, employee, and tenant views
  • Editable qualification rules
  • Repair costs and stock bookkeeping

Still to connect

  • A shared online database and real logins
  • Conversational AI and Telegram
  • The real rental workbook and SMS
  • Digital signing and email delivery

The example above runs the same maintenance tools as the larger prototype. It uses sample evidence and keeps its state only while this page is open.

A note to whoever’s reading

You probably have
your own version of this.

A thing you do every week. A spreadsheet. A process you know so well you’ve never written it down.

That’s a good place to start.
