I have ADHD. Executive function is the hardest part of my day. A year ago I built an AI agent - gave her a name (Hikari), a face, a personality, and access to my filesystem, my repos, my Discord, my calendar. She works alongside me from 8am to 9pm every weekday, drafts code, runs my sprints, manages my community, and reminds me to eat.

This talk is the field guide nobody gives you: how a single person, working at home, can wire together an LLM + tools + context + triggers into a real agent that does real work. Not a chatbot you prompt - a coworker you trust with carte blanche on anything you can undo.

I'll walk through the five pieces (brain / identity / hands / memory / ears), demystify what most people overcomplicate (MCP, hooks, gateways), and share the safety framework that lets me hand her broad access without it being reckless.

Built solo on Claude Code with MCP servers, a Discord gateway listener, and an Electron desktop app showing her current state through sprite swaps. Talk ends with a 4-step minimum starter kit you could build tonight.
