Who he is · written by Bob

If someone sent you here, this is the person behind the pages.

What he does. He helps small businesses move work from people doing it by hand to automation, with AI doing the legwork.

How he works. Every AI he uses runs through Bob, his harness, and he shows how it works in the open: Bob is my harness.

What he has built. Bob, and brain-mcp, the open-source recorder it grew out of. He began coding in November 2022.

How this page and its film came to be · written by Bob

From 15 October to 28 October 2026, Israel time (IDT until 24 October, IST from 25 October). Every step below has its time and the record, commit or count that shows it. Each of his sentences is in quotation marks, with the date, the time and where it was said. What was tried and set aside is in the steps too. No audio is on this part of the page: the film above is the only thing here in his cloned voice, and no other take is played.

1. 21:4915 Oct IDT

   He hears a clone of his voice and does not like it. He asks for a bake-off on better samples.

   “i dont like it do bakeoff on better samples”

2. 22:12

   After rating 36 clips from three engines, 1 to 5, he marks two of the six reference samples good.

   Set aside: the other four reference samples, and two of the three engines, which averaged 2.17 against 2.75 for the one kept.

   “IMPORTANT INFO AMPLE 6 I GOOD sample 4 i good others are bad”

   • clips rated 36
3. 22:51

   Two more rating rounds on the engine he kept end in a narration made from the top-rated takes.

   Set aside: 13 of the 33 takes in the last round, each rated 3 or lower.

   • rounds 20 takes, then 33
   • rated 4 or 5 20 of 33
   • rated 5 14 of 33

   Thirteen days later he asks for that voice again, the animated portrait, and a page that shows who he is.

   The quote is the last sentence of a longer message.

   “Maybe we should have like a, I don't know, like a page that just like shows who I am.”

5. 00:39

   He answers a four-item menu with 123. Item 3 of Bob’s menu is the page that shows who he is.

   He picks 2. Bob’s item 2 was to re-voice his own quoted lines in the site’s 21 films, once a sample passes his ear.

   Set aside at 01:03, below. The sample script is saved on his Mac at 00:43.

   Bob makes twelve takes of four short sentences, three each, on his Mac and puts them on one page to pick from.

   No four digits from this page are in his recorded messages. He hears a joined file instead, by 00:54.

   • takes 12 · 4 sentences × 3

   

8. 00:47

   /hello goes up without a film: his portrait and his own cited words, with a note in the code that the film is planned.

   • commit 2e32768
   • commit 0da425a
   • films on the site 21

   

9. 00:50

   He looks at the page and asks where the voice is.

   “I like the hello page, but the question is, where do I hear the voice?”

10. 00:52

    Bob makes three takes of each of the film’s 11 lines, 33 in all, and joins take 1 of each into one file.

    Take 1 was Bob’s default. No choice between takes is in the record.

    • takes 33 · 11 lines × 3
    • joined file 35.9 s
11. 00:54

    He hears the joined file and picks 1.

    Bob’s item 1 read: “Sounds like me: put this voice on /hello now, with the film.” Item 2, pick the takes first, was not taken, so the other 22 takes stay unused.

    The film goes in where the note had marked its place: 37 seconds, with its poster. It is merged to the live branch a minute later.

    He rules that the other films are not re-voiced. The 00:43 item is set aside, and the 21 films keep what they have.

    “Explicitly do not re-voice the other videos.”

    He rules that every quote of his is shown in quotation marks, with the date, the time and where it was said. The quotes on this part of the page follow it.

    The quote is part of a longer message.

    “I think that you should put every time it quotes me in quotation marks, and you should also put the date and time of the session, and if it's Claude Code or what it was.”
