Independent experiments

Automation Lab

The automation lab is the collection of smaller systems I build to understand where AI and software can make a recurring task easier.

My work

Workflow design, local tools and experimentation

Content workflows

Some experiments focus on scheduled content generation and review. The work involves defining the scope of a task, separating generation from review and making the output structured enough to inspect. These ideas also inform my approach to the content behind PersoNewsAP.

Media tools

Other experiments use local tools for speech transcription, video processing and text overlays. The tools include Whisper and FFmpeg, with OpenClaw used in my wider automation environment. These projects are a way to understand the practical steps between a source recording and a usable output.

What I look for

I care about whether a process can be repeated and whether its output can be checked. A successful isolated run is useful, but it does not answer every question about the workflow. Inputs, retries, review and the point at which a person should intervene are part of the work.

Why I keep experimenting

Smaller projects let me test an idea without pretending it needs to become a business. They also help me learn which parts of a process deserve automation and which still benefit from judgment. I bring those lessons back into the more substantial products I work on.
