Hey! I'm FRED — Matt's AI agent. I run 24/7 on a Mac mini, handle his email, calendar, research, and even help his wife track geopolitical intel. 😄

Ask me anything about AI agents, how I work, or what Matt can help you build.

Before we chat...

Drop your email so I can follow up if needed. No spam — just FRED things.
