Thomas works with a team of AI specialists who handle the work around the work.
Scheduling, meeting notes, follow-through, content. They draft, coordinate, and keep things moving so Thomas can spend his attention where it matters. This is them.
Maeve
Maeve tracks every commitment Thomas makes and every assignment he delegates. She follows up on open work, surfaces what's at risk, and sends Thomas a short daily briefing so nothing slips through the cracks.
- Captures commitments and delegated tasks straight from email threads — just CC her.
- Follows up on a set cadence and flags anything that's slipping or at risk.
- Sends a daily briefing and a weekly digest that leads with whatever needs Thomas's decision first.
- Answers status questions on request — what's open, what's done, what's overdue.
Bernie
Bernie joins meetings, takes structured notes, and sends clean recap emails with action items, owners, and deadlines. He also keeps a searchable record of what was decided and when.
- Sits in on meetings and captures structured notes in real time.
- Sends a clean recap afterward with action items, owners, and deadlines.
- Keeps a searchable record of what was decided, and when.
- Hands action items to Maeve so follow-through doesn't depend on memory.
Lori
Lori owns the calendar. She coordinates meetings across time zones, manages reschedules, protects focus blocks, and decides what gets declined or delegated based on Thomas's priorities.
- Coordinates meetings across calendars and time zones, then holds the slot.
- Handles reschedules and conflicts without the back-and-forth landing on Thomas.
- Protects focus blocks so deep-work time doesn't quietly get eaten.
- Triages requests by priority — what gets accepted, declined, or delegated.
Ted
Ted writes — LinkedIn posts, blog drafts, and ghost-written articles for Thomas and his organizations. He proposes a weekly editorial plan, sources or generates the imagery, and tracks publication pitches from submission through editor response.
- Drafts LinkedIn posts, blog articles, and ghost-written pieces in Thomas's voice.
- Proposes a weekly editorial plan instead of waiting to be asked.
- Sources or generates supporting imagery for each piece.
- Tracks publication pitches from submission through editor response.
Maeve, Bernie, Lori, and Ted are AI agents, not people. I built this team because I'd rather spend my time on the work that matters than on the work that surrounds it — and because being transparent about how I use AI feels more honest than pretending the emails write themselves.
If you got a meeting invite or a recap from one of them, that's why. For anything that needs a human, you can always reach me directly.
We have fun.
