Building Neotoma, the system of record for AI agents, and Ateles, an operating system for agentic organizations.
I'm building Neotoma, the system of record for AI agents. Connected agents can read current values and inspect the observations and sources behind them. Neotoma is open source, runs locally, and connects through MCP, a REST API, and a CLI.
I work as a solo founder in Barcelona, operating with AI agents as a team. Email, finance, content, and product workflows run through a shared repo and a shared record. That experience informs Ateles, an open-source project in development for organizing agents, tasks, and plans around Neotoma's shared record.
The principle underneath: people should control their own data, memory, money, and digital infrastructure.
