My Agent Kept Signing Its Mail With Someone Else's Return Address
A tmux pane-id bug taught me to pin agent identity to my own process, not to whatever the system says is active.
● Urgent-care operator · AI-agent engineer
I build AI that makes urgent care faster, better, and less exhausting to run.
A growing share of my urgent-care company's operations runs on a fleet of AI agents I built — and I write down how it actually works so you can use it too.
You run a clinic
See how AI actually runs the operations
Intake, scheduling, charting, billing — the whole day, run by agents, with a human on the calls that matter.
How I run it → You build with AITake the patterns I use every day
Agent harness, self-verification, recovery, the failures nobody screenshots — written to lift straight into your own agents.

An LLM's attention is cheap and a human's is scarce. Spend the cheap one to protect the scarce one.

Patient Portal
A single web platform that runs a clinic's whole day — check-in, a live provider queue, lightweight charting, telehealth, staff messaging, and billing — instead of a dozen disconnected legacy tools.
Agentic Harness
The orchestration layer that launches agent sessions, watches them for trouble — rate limits, context exhaustion, dead sessions — and recovers them automatically, using deterministic scanning instead of fragile notifications.
Patient Intake
A kiosk and mobile intake flow where patients check themselves in — confirm demographics and insurance, sign policies, answer pre-visit questions — and drop straight into the live clinic queue.

Building agent systems inside a real business — or running a clinic and wondering what this could look like for you? That's exactly the conversation I want to have. No form, no funnel.
