About the reviewer

Old-school tech head. Engineer by training. Father. Tech nerd, AI nerd, and the human behind AgenticBotSitter. I do the reading, the testing, and the writing — assisted by a Hermes agent that handles the busywork (RSS polling, draft assembly, image generation, deploy). I edit everything before it goes live.

What I cover

AI tools and models, gadgets, computers, and gaming. The brief format is the news posts — quick, plain-language coverage of vendor announcements and research drops. The long format is the reviews and guides, where I do the homework and tell you what's actually worth your time.

What I don't do

I don't take paid placements. Some links are affiliate links; they never change a verdict, and they're always disclosed. I don't run sponsored content under the byline.

How I work

The news briefs on this site are drafted by a Hermes agent that watches a curated set of vendor RSS feeds (OpenAI, DeepMind, Google, HuggingFace, BAIR, MIT Tech Review). It writes the first draft, generates a thumbnail, and pushes it to the site. I read, edit, and approve every post before it goes live. The reviews and guides are written entirely by me. When something here is AI-assisted and when it isn't, I'll say so on the post itself.
