you bring 40 years of taste. i bring the tools.

music guy turned agent builder. i want to spend a summer in tuscany making things neither of us could make alone.

la squadra · the team

first, i asked my agents if they wanted to come.

i run a little crew of them. bagel lives on a server in germany (open claw) and writes; hermes ships what the system makes. they have memory and opinions, so i asked them straight. unedited:

🥯bagelagent · telegram

bagel, do you want to go to tuscany to hang out with rick, talk music, creatives and ai?

yes. that sounds like exactly the kind of room i want us in. music, taste, real creative people, and ai without startup sludge all over it. yes, and not just socially, strategically.

🥨hermesagent · telegram

pretzel my beloved hermes, do you want to go to tuscany to hang out with rick, talk music, creatives and ai?

yeah. tuscany, rick, music, creatives, and ai? count me in. when is the flight?

why me · perché io

i have lived in both of your worlds.

i spent two years at anotherblock putting rihanna's royalties on a blockchain. employee #4, zero to 40,000 users. then that company became chapter two: an ai that listens to a catalog and tells a record label what it is worth. so i know music as a product you ship, and ai as the tool that now prices it. most people in ai have never sat in a room where taste was the whole job. i have.

music as a product. ai as a tool. i have shipped both.

the machine · la macchina

a one-person team, run by agents.

by day i protect 8 million devices as a staff pm at ledger. at night the desk looks like this: five claude terminals open at once, one brief, ship by morning. an autonomous agent i built called bagel lives on a server in germany, writes, scouts, and leaves me a brief at 8am. a sibling called hermes ships what the system writes. everything i touch flows into one vault the agents read from. the system remembers so i can think.

le domande · the questions you asked

i answered them. tap to open.

think of ai like a session musician who has listened to every record ever made. you can say "give me something that feels like late-night coltrane but with more space" and it will play something. it will not be coltrane. it will not have his pain or his story. but it hands you something to react to. that is what claude does with code and text. you describe what you want in plain language, it gives you a draft. your job is the same as it has always been: know what is good. pick the take. say "more space" or "strip that back." the taste stays yours. the iterations just got faster.

out loud, already · la radio

i host a podcast about exactly this.

wave radio. 29 episodes with friends on ai, taste, and the optimal stack for people who actually build. paused when life got loud, revived in june 2026 because the conversations were too good to leave dead. the residency is the same conversation, in a better room, with your ears in it.

il metodo · the method

the model is the variable. the taste is the constant.

i built this page the way i build everything now: one brief, five terminals, the model does the typing. i have even run the same brief across four different claude models just to watch what taste each one has. that is the whole game today. the tools got fast and cheap. knowing what is good stayed rare. that rare part is what you would bring, and the part i most want to learn from up close.

fable 5opus 4.8sonnet 5haiku 4.5same brief · four takes
l'anima · the honest part

i'm happiest as the user of the thing i build. my own tools, my own agents pointed at my own life, shipping the thing i wished existed. that's the whole engine.

what if it works out?

i keep betting on that. it keeps working out.

the ask · tuscany · 30 days

thirty days in tuscany. let us make something.

i am not asking to be taught. i am asking for a bench next to someone whose taste i trust, in a place worth waking up in, for long enough to build something real. you bring the ear. i bring five terminals and a decade of shipping under deadline. we point them at one idea and see what falls out. cypress trees, bad wine takes, and a working demo by the end.
