What I’d build with you in Tuscany — and what it would take.
Underneath the council, the month and the number that follow, the offer is simple: your taste, my machines, one summer — and the chance to make what neither of us could alone.
Not my time — a system.
Everything I run, rebuilt around you and handed over. Most of it you’ve never heard of — which is the point. Tap any card.

Five AI advisors on your own private server — built on OpenClaw, the framework I run. Each has a name, a memory and a field it knows, with a quiet orchestrator keeping them in concert. Live before I leave; you add more whenever you like.

Claude configured on your machines to build, not just answer: Cowork for the daily work, Claude Code in the terminal for the deep builds, wired to your second brain. The difference between asking a machine a question and conducting one.

A read-only knowledge library — copies of whatever you choose, indexed in Obsidian and recalled on cue. The exact architecture I think inside every day, set up for you. The council reads from it; your originals are never touched or deleted.

A filing system that writes up and stores every method, pattern and protocol you create — so each one becomes a reusable asset you could sell, not a memory you lose. Mine holds dozens. Yours starts on day one.

A visual identity of your own — colours, type and a set of symbols — plus a written glossary of your own terms, applied consistently across everything you make. The same system behind melis.ai, built for you.

A private server so your council runs while you sleep, Obsidian synced across your devices, Wispr Flow so you speak instead of type, and the memory-and-token architecture that keeps the whole thing fast, private and cheap.

The skill that outlasts every tool here: how to refuse the merely-good answer and commission the one that doesn’t exist yet. I teach you the patterns and leave you a library of them — so you stop asking the machine a question and start conducting it.

On the other end whenever you want it — a WhatsApp or a Zoom, your Malibu morning to my Camden midnight, for as long as you like. I’d want us to stay friends, and to keep pushing each other toward the most ambitious thing either of us can imagine.

The honest shape of it: I’d build as much as I can before Tuscany, so most of the month is conversation and refinement rather than setup. Some days we talk — I learn who you are, and it feeds the system. Others I work heads-down, building and testing what we’ve designed, then bringing it back for your feedback until it’s right. Every session is recorded.
I take you across everything your council and your tools will need to know — how you work, what you’re chasing, what you love, and what you can’t stand.
And the questions only you can answer — the physical "yes" before the mind agrees, the best work you ever talked someone out of releasing, how you know when a thing is finished.

I gather everything worth keeping and synthesise it into one private library — a Documents folder structured in PARA: skills, markdown notes and memory, the way I build mine. This is the brain both Cowork and Claude Code will read from. Assembled entirely from copies, so nothing of yours is ever moved or altered.
Hooked into the platforms you already use — your notes, drives, email and calendar, and your team’s code — so it draws on all of it.

On your own server, I build your OpenClaw agents — five to start, each with a name, a memory and a domain. I optimise Cowork for your daily work and set up Claude Code for the deep builds, both pointed at your second brain. Then we test the whole system together and refine it on your feedback until it runs the way you think.

I train you on the whole system — how to summon the council, direct it, and grow your own — and connect the software you’ll run it through. You keep all of it. Then it runs without me.

The part that isn’t strategy.

This isn’t a job to me. It’s the beginning of the work I’ll spend my life on, with you or without you.
Two worlds spent years walking toward the same idea — remove everything that isn’t the truth — and reached it from opposite ends: yours through sound, mine through the machine. I don’t yet know what they make when they finally meet. I only know I’d give a summer to find out, and that I’d rather find out with you than with anyone alive.
A month in Tuscany, fully present.

I didn’t write you a pitch — I built you the thing. So I’ll be just as plain about the number: for this month I’d be entirely yours, building beside you rather than earning elsewhere. The work is the point; the fee only makes it possible.
A headline artist plays a single night for the price of a car. This is 30 days full-time, an agentic council, an operating system, and the library of skills that keep evolving with the technology.
Five AI advisors set up on your own server, each an expert in a different area. You ask, they answer. You can add more whenever you like.
A private, searchable archive of whatever you want kept — notes, interviews, references — plus every session we record. Ask for anything and it appears in seconds.
Ask any question and the AI reads hundreds of sources, then comes back with a clear answer and links, usually in minutes.
An AI that watches the news, web and social media for you and surfaces only what’s worth your time, so you never scroll a feed.
Every method or idea you come up with gets written down and filed in one place, so you can reuse or sell it later instead of losing it.
Your own private cloud server that runs all of this around the clock. I set it up, connect your devices, and hand it over.
Access to every tool, template and system I’ve already made. Take and reuse any of it.
I teach you how to get far more out of AI than most people do: how to ask for big, ambitious results instead of small, obvious ones.
Describe an app, a website or a tool out loud and the AI builds it for you. No coding.
A consistent visual style of your own — colours, type and imagery, like the paper-craft look on this site — that I design so everything you make looks unmistakably yours.
I set you up on Wispr Flow, so you can speak instead of type — fast, accurate dictation straight into any of your tools.
Me. The stories, the curiosity, and someone genuinely good to spend a month with.
You can reach me over WhatsApp or Zoom whenever you want, for as long as you want. No end date.
Whatever we don’t plan for. New ideas, tools and directions surface as we build — and whatever comes out of the month is yours to keep growing.
You’ll feel whether this is true — you always have.
If it’s a yes, write to me at sean@melis.ai, and we’ll begin.
