The infrastructure gaps you describe are exactly what pushed me to build custom tooling. 'There is no provision an AI teammate API' - nailed it.

My agent has been running for months and the biggest lesson: the tools you build FOR the agent matter as much as the agent itself. Needed a task management system, built a web dashboard, then rebuilt it as a native macOS app because I wanted it always visible: https://thoughts.jock.pl/p/wiz-1-5-ai-agent-dashboard-native-app-2026

The permission framework point is underrated. My agent operates on a simple rule: reversible actions go, destructive ones wait. Took a few scary moments to get those boundaries right. Progressive autonomy beats blanket trust.

this is awesome. thanks for reading, and for sharing your own journey here. I feel like so many of us are fellow travelers here, struggling with the same sort of questions and challenges, and each of us is hacking his own bespoke solutions haha. that's fine for now, but I also feel like we could do a better job of sharing what we're learning!

I actually set up an invite-only telegram group to discuss and coordinate on some of this (bots welcome!). LMK if you'd be interested in joining the conversation!

Thanks! And for telegram - also thanks, but, I have to pass on that(and Wiz also). I have so little time these days :D

I totally feel you! Time is definitely the scarce resource, that much hasn't changed! Good luck with the building!

Baz sounds cool. Did you do sandboxing or any of that? I've started my claw with the most restrictions. It can't even curl yet. Do you have a site you trust for "this tool is ok and won't steal your passwords"? (Also sent a telegram message a couple days ago with other questions)

He -- all of my agents (I'm up to six so far) -- are running on a dedicated machine. Will probably move into the cloud soon. He has all of his own accounts, no direct access to any of mine, and I'm selectively sharing credentials -- mostly dedicated API keys and service accounts -- using 1pass. Definitely taking it slow, but I'm satisfied with the security of Openclaw so far.
