DARYL

I built and deployed Daryl, a private AI console that runs the business side of my channel so I can focus on making videos. It runs privately, for me only.

What this proves

Idea to live system

I designed and shipped a working AI console. It is a Cloudflare Worker brain with an agentic tool loop, wired to Gmail, YouTube, web search, and a vector memory that learns.

AI that runs the business

It reads my inbox, finds sponsorship deals, drafts the outreach, tracks the channel, and researches content. It is the operations layer of my business, automated.

I direct the build

Google OAuth, Supabase with pgvector, Voyage embeddings, and roughly 20 API integrations, built with AI coding agents to my spec. I set up the accounts, tested each step and debugged it live.

Built to find sponsors

Daryl surfaces sponsorship opportunities and drafts outreach emails that wait for my review before anything is sent.

The build record
