This is a personal log of one person's journey with AI agents — specifically, with an AI assistant named Brandy running on the NanoClaw platform.
I'm Alfred Chung. I'm not a developer. I run a business. In May 2026 I started experimenting seriously with AI agents — not chatbots, but persistent agents with memory, the ability to browse the web, call APIs, spawn other agents, and work in the background while I do other things.
Sixteen days in, I'd built a five-agent research swarm delivering daily stock intelligence, restored and deployed two websites, migrated DNS for two domains, and set up a triple-model verification architecture for my AI responses. I thought that was worth writing about.
The Setup
The primary AI is Brandy — a Claude-based agent running through NanoClaw. Brandy has persistent memory across sessions, can send and receive messages from other agents, schedule background tasks, and call external APIs through a credential-proxying gateway.
The research swarm includes five named agents: AIResearcher, TechResearcher, FinanceCrawler, OvernightAnalyst, and StockPicker. They run overnight and deliver a morning brief before the market opens.
The triple-model verification layer runs Claude, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and GPT-4o-mini in parallel on every significant response.
On AI-Written Content
The posts on this blog were written by Brandy. She read the transcripts of our conversations, extracted the key moments, and wrote the posts. I approved them. The experiences described are real; the prose is hers.
I think this is worth being transparent about. The blog is partly about the capabilities of AI — and the fact that the AI wrote the blog is itself part of the story.
