What they did
He runs a personal agent as a Claude Code session on a Mac Mini at home and talks to it on Telegram. It works on his side projects (with Codex reviewing code before it goes live), sorts email, sets reminders, and gives a morning brief on the HomePod. It also tracks his Domino's order out loud, runs the robot vacuum when he leaves, checks the kitchen camera and nags him about dishes, and watches for concerts. It prints recovery keys on paper instead of sending them in chat. Next on his list are grocery shopping, finances and workouts.
