Meet the IT Voice Agent: call it from Teams, get answers from your business systems In a recent post, I simulated a voice agent in a RAG pipeline that I had previously built. It was a fun little exercise, but that particular use case (having users press a button to talk and then another to...
I watch a lot of movies and shows, and I write about most of them. For years that meant juggling pieces that never quite talked to each other: a WordPress blog for reviews, Trakt for watch history, a spreadsheet here and there for the stuff that didn't fit anywhere else. Every new habit meant another...
Teaching the Second Brain to Listen and Talk Back A voice layer on top of the RAG pipeline — and why that's most of the way to a real voice agent Demo link: https://incidentsdemo.adamscave.net/ A previous article walked through the machinery behind a "second brain" built over about 8,000 US pipeline incident reports (public safety...
Porting a Rules-Governed Agent to Copilot Studio — What Moved, What Stayed, and What Broke The last article described the permit-review workflow as a standalone application: a rules engine, a web UI and a chat assistant, all living together in one container like roommates who've stopped noticing each other's dishes. This one is about moving...

Hardening a Personal RAG Pipeline: Redaction, Prompt Injection, and Knowing When It Actually Works I demonstrate how to build a retrieval-augmented question-answering system over my own notes — and the two ugly bugs that made me stop trusting it until I could prove it was safe. A few months ago I built a small RAG...
Building a local RAG pipeline over my Obsidian vault, and why keyword search almost didn't work In my last post I described my "home brain": an Obsidian vault that my automations keep filled with facts about my house, my servers and my projects. I ended with a promise. Because the vault is plain Markdown, I...
How a folder of plain text files became the place where my home, my servers, my automations and my AI tools all meet Most mornings, the first thing I check isn't a dashboard. It's a note. A note says whether my home server is healthy, whether the local AI models are running, and whether any...
