AI Tooling

The personalised morning magazine

A three-line recurring brief that beats any feed: summarise, filter to my taste, schedule. The visual format is part of the value.

Agents

Agent architectures for everyday tasks

MCP, tools and orchestration — and the honest question of when an agent actually earns its keep over a plain script.

Document AI

Document AI in financial operations

Extraction that survives the messy real-world PDF. The gap between a demo and a pipeline you'd trust with a contract.

Knowledge

The case for local-first knowledge

Why my vault is plain markdown and stays that way: portability, longevity, and never being locked out of my own notes.

Sector

Investor relations in fund services

Reading that overlaps the day job — capital markets, reporting cadence, and what good IR communication actually looks like.
