Not sure how many here have embraced the madness of these two letters — AI — but the last three years pushed me back into my first love: tech.
Eight months ago this started with a $140 Kamrui mini PC and an old monitor. The goal? Teach my 7-year-old Linux instead of Windows. He didn’t care. He wanted Fortnite. But Ubuntu was free, so I started tinkering again.
Eight months later, that tinkering turned into seven servers — four of them absolute monsters — and a multi-agent AI system built entirely from the ground up.
What started as “let’s learn Linux” became:
Ollie.
Ollie runs on my servers and on his devices. He’s Kellen’s digital older brother. He logs. He protects. He assists. He grows with him.
The system has:
You choose your direction.
You type or speak.
From install to execution, the organism handles it.
I didn’t set out to build an AI OS.
I set out to keep my kid safe in a 2026 digital world.
And somewhere along the way, I built something bigger.
I’m fucking excited.

What started as “let’s learn Linux” became:
- A multi-agent AI orchestration system
- A family AI OS in development
- Voice control across the house
- AI camera inference with Frigate
- Firewall + network management automation
- Intelligent DNS stack
- VLAN segmentation for IoT isolation
- Backup automation
- Patch management
- Observability
- And most importantly — a dedicated AI for my son
Ollie.
Ollie runs on my servers and on his devices. He’s Kellen’s digital older brother. He logs. He protects. He assists. He grows with him.
The system has:
- A constitution
- Eight AI agents with defined roles
- A hierarchy
- One master agent
- One human operator
