I build AI agent product workflows: tool integrations, local-first runtimes, multimodal artifacts, Agent UX, and human-in-the-loop automation.
idea -> tools + models + files -> reviewable workflow -> product capability
Most of my work is hands-on: real product code, clear engineering boundaries, and workflows that move from a rough idea to something users can run, review, recover, and reuse.
AI agents are becoming useful, but the hard product work sits around the model: tools, vendors, files, media, local runtimes, permissions, progress states, error recovery, review loops, packaging, and operational checks.
That is the layer I like building.
| Project | What it proves |
|---|---|
| Open Design | Creative agent product work: local daemon + web UI, design workflows, image/file handling, packaged desktop delivery, artifact export, and commercialization-oriented product design. |
| Nexu | Local-first desktop agent work: OpenClaw runtime, controller/gateway flows, SkillHub workflows, model/provider UX, and cross-platform client reliability. |
| Refly | Agent tooling work: tool calling, MCP/Composio-style integrations, resource handling, CLI workflows, dynamic tool behavior, and provider-specific edge cases. |
These are the public projects that best show how I think about agents: not as chat boxes, but as product systems with tools, state, artifacts, review loops, and operational boundaries.
- Tool-integrated agents: external tools, vendor APIs, auth, schemas, async jobs, output handling, and failure boundaries.
- Local-first runtimes: desktop sidecars, CLIs, filesystem state, packaged apps, and reproducible workspaces.
- Multimodal workflows: files, images, audio, video, documents, previews, exports, limits, and validation.
- Agent UX: visible state, understandable errors, cancellation, retry, recovery paths, review gates, and human control.
- Workflow productization: turning ambiguous ideas into stable, testable, repeatable product flows.
- Commercialization design: shaping AI capabilities into usable product surfaces, upgrade paths, and operational workflows.
I am shaping Caprika Agent Lab as a proof-of-work collection for small, runnable AI product patterns.
The goal is to show the path from idea to product capability, not just the final screenshot.
Planned examples:
- tool wrappers with clear permission and error boundaries
- multimodal input/output flows for files, images, video, and documents
- content workflows with source evidence, human review, and publish/readback loops
- Agent UX patterns for progress, cancellation, retry, and recovery
- local runtime patterns with CLIs, daemons, filesystem artifacts, and previews
- I prefer inspectable artifacts over hidden state.
- I like runnable slices that prove a capability before scaling it.
- I care about agent systems that survive real repositories, real users, code review, packaging, deployment, and maintenance.
- I treat product, engineering, and operations as one system when agents are part of the workflow.
