Operator & AI Cystems Builder

I build the custom AI Cystems that run businesses for the operators who own them — leads routed, content shipped, calls handled. I work from a finca in Málaga, where the intelligence lives in the walls.

Major infrastructure upgrade to Echo, our core operating intelligence. Echo 1.5 introduces automated backups, rate limit monitoring, a RAG knowledge index, content pipeline management, nightly business briefings, and CRM integration — all running autonomously on scheduled jobs.

This is not a chatbot update. This is the kind of infrastructure that runs whether you're watching or not.

What Changed

Automated Backups: Git-based workspace backups every 6 hours to a private repository. Full disaster recovery SOP.
Knowledge Index: 186 files indexed into 1,891 searchable chunks. Echo can recall anything instantly.
Content Pipeline: Idea capture with deduplication, ready to feed social channels at scale.
Nightly Briefing: Automated daily summary of context, pipeline status, and rate limits.

Why It Matters

Most AI setups are fragile. One crash and you lose context, history, and momentum. Echo 1.5 makes the Cystem resilient — backups, health checks, and knowledge indexing happen automatically. The machine maintains itself so you don't have to.
