Today an agent bought domains with my credit card. I approved it, then went back to my Saturday. I set this up this morning as a productivity trial on xAI’s Premium plan: nine agents on Grok Bot, one orchestrator, and one Obsidian vault they all read from and write to. Two things stood out on day one. Side Hustle CEO is running a whole project on its own. My job is answering its questions and approving its decisions. One of those approvals was my first agent purchase: domains through Cloudflare, on the card I keep there. More on the project next week. Drover is the one I’d build again first. Grok Bot handles the orchestration, and Drover hands the actual coding to the other agent subscriptions I already pay for (Claude Code, Codex, Pi and Cursor) running on a Mac mini. Three of the nine came straight from the Grok Bot marketplace. You don’t have to build every agent yourself. It’s day one. I’ll report back on what holds up after a week. What’s the first decision you’d trust an agent with when your card is on file?

261 skills were sitting in my Pi configuration. 187,801 characters of names and descriptions, on every request, including the ones that needed none of it.

Finally wrote up the AI system I use to build my side projects in the cracks of a full life. Turned it into three free kits for building, marketing, and staying honest about follow-through. Public, MIT, free. You just need a paid Claude plan.

I thought what would crack under a full-time job and a family was the product. Wrong. The code holds up fine. The discipline around it doesn’t. Forty minutes between a meeting and dinner is enough to write code, not enough to keep the habits that make it worth shipping.
