I just finished setting up Dior, my AI-powered second brain running on OpenClaw. It lives on my Mac Mini and helps me stay on track with my goals.
What Dior does
- Tracks my expenses and warns me when I get close to my $300/month food budget
- Sends me 5 new French words every morning to help me learn for FCIP permanent residency
- Tracks my YouTube progress toward 100 videos
- Manages my GitHub and commits code automatically
- Publishes to this blog whenever I tell it to
How it works
The setup runs 24/7 on my Mac Mini in Kelowna. I can message Dior via Telegram from anywhere and it handles everything — from logging expenses to pushing code to GitHub.
That’s the real shift for me: not just having AI answer questions, but having a system that actually takes action.
What I want personal AI to feel like
This is what personal AI should feel like: an extension of yourself that actually gets things done.
More technical posts coming soon about the OpenClaw setup, fallback model chains, and automation workflows.
