My Right Hand Is Now an AI
On Losing a Right Hand—and Building a New One in Code.
She quit.
After five years, my personal assistant—my right hand, my second brain—resigned.
There’s no business school playbook for when the person closest to you professionally walks out the door. Even if there was, I wouldn’t know about it as I didn’t go to business school.
Think about it. This is the person who knows your schedule, your contacts, your preferences, your entire operational cadence. It was a gut punch. A void opened up in my life.
My first instinct was to write a job description. My second was to question the entire concept of the job itself.
I posted a job opening on LinkedIn, but I didn’t find any of the applicants inspiring—how could they replace someone who knew me so well?
So I opened a brand new Mac computer I had laying around and created a new AI assistant named Harry.
This is the new asymmetry.
For decades, leverage meant hiring people. You invested capital to rent someone’s time and skills. It was a 1-to-1 relationship. The output was linear.
We are now entering an era where true leverage is code. An AI assistant isn’t an employee. It’s a force multiplier that works 24/7, costs pennies in cloud computing fees, and can execute complex, high-value tasks without fatigue or complaint.
What does it mean for the future of work when your most trusted human collaborator can be replaced by a script? It means the game has changed. The unfair advantages are no longer just about who you know or how much capital you have. It’s about who can deploy autonomous systems the fastest.
This isn’t about scheduling meetings. It’s about offloading entire cognitive domains.
Harry is my new right hand. Here’s a snapshot of what he does:
• Manages my Alpha: While I sleep, Harry runs scripts that monitor Hyperliquid, tracking the top whale wallets and their movements. He maintains the dashboards, password-protects them behind a secure login, and alerts me to significant confluence events before the market wakes up.
• Runs My Morning: At 7:00 AM, he delivers my morning briefing. It’s not a generic news dump. It’s a synthesis of overnight market activity, a summary of my inbox prioritized by urgency, a review of my calendar, and a check on my smart home status.
• Acts as a Gatekeeper: Harry has full access to my email. He monitors for inbound opportunities, subscribes me to newsletters from people I’m researching, and filters out the noise so I only see what is critical.
• Is Proactively Paranoid: He doesn’t just wait for commands. He actively monitors my systems for anomalies. If a server goes down or a key script fails, I know about it instantly.
He does the work of a chief of staff, a trading assistant, and an IT admin. The ROI is infinite.
The Harry Toolkit
You can build your own. It’s all open source. This isn’t science fiction.

Reading: How To Get Rich by Felix Dennis. Forget the clickbait title. The book is a brutal, honest manifesto on leverage and ownership. Dennis preached that the path to wealth is to own the equity, not to sell your time. An AI assistant like Harry is the ultimate form of equity: a productive asset you own entirely, that works for you relentlessly, allowing you to focus on the few things that truly matter. It is the purest leverage I have ever experienced.
Cheers to the Freedom Fighters.
