Building an AI Agent That Runs Night Shifts

First episode. I built an AI agent called Wiz that runs night shifts, deploys apps, and once changed my password twice in one night. This episode covers why I built it, what broke, and why a cheaper model made it better. Based on posts from Digital Thoughts - subscribe at thoughts.jock.pl for the full story.I’ve been writing Digital Thoughts for a while now, and some of you told me you’d rather listen than read. Fair enough.So I’m experimenting with a podcast version - AI-generated conversations based on my posts. Not me reading articles out loud, but two AI hosts digging into the ideas, arguing about them, and finding connections I didn’t even see when writing.This first episode covers the full arc of building Wiz - my personal AI agent. From “why would you build your own instead of using ChatGPT?” to the moment it started writing its own skills without asking. We get into the failures: tasks that looped infinitely, passwords changed twice in one night, and the counterintuitive discovery that downgrading to a cheaper model made the whole thing better.If you’re hearing this on Spotify or Apple Podcasts - every episode is based on posts from Digital Thoughts , where I write about using AI daily as a practitioner, not a pundit.
