Show Notes
In this Operators Bonus Episode, I pit 16 different things I've built this year against each other in a March Madness-style bracket — from OpenClaw bots and vibe-coded side projects to the Sherlock Holmes-inspired agent ecosystem I'm developing for enterprise AI strategy. It's a behind-the-scenes tour of what's worked, what hasn't, and what I think has the most potential going forward.
